According to Catholic Charities USA, almost half of Americans will experience poverty for a year or more at some point in their lives before they reach the age of sixty. Consequently, most of us will experience a time when we require a helping hand to give us hope for today, and for the future. The services of our Basic Needs Programs work to meet the needs of people we serve in a supportive way. Services offered include food, clothing, temporary financial, holiday and case management assistance.
