2024-2025 Impact Report Released
Dear Friends,
July 1 marked the beginning of a new fiscal year for Catholic Charities and the continuation of our outreach to those in need. As we witness increased needs across the 16 counties in our diocese, we remain committed to developing new and innovative approaches to serving and making the best possible impact.
I am thrilled to share with you our latest Impact Report, which reflects the incredible work we have accomplished together over the past year. As executive director, I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand the dedication, compassion, and resilience that define our community. This report is a small testament to that spirit.
Thanks to your support and prayers, we’ve been able to expand our reach, deepen our programs, and take meaningful strides toward our mission: to put our faith into action by strengthening individuals, families, and communities while reflecting the love of God through his Son, Jesus Christ.
Highlights from this past year include:
- Reaching over 13,000 people through our core program and community outreach
- Launching two new tele-health sites focused on breaking down barriers and improving access
- Completing a new three-year strategic plan to guide us in the areas of financial strength, awareness, people and culture, and operational excellence
- Increasing volunteer engagement by 41 new generous volunteers
- Training 85 core discussion leaders — through a partnership with McGrath Institute for Church Life — to better support individuals facing mental health challenges
This report offers a snapshot of our outreach efforts and the number of lives impacted. Behind every number is a story. A story of a life changed, hope restored, and communities strengthened. I invite you to take a peek at the report and join us in celebrating the impact that you’ve helped create.
We know that the work is far from over. But with your continued partnership, we are confident in the road ahead. Thank you for believing in our mission and walking alongside us.
If you have an idea of how we can partner or see an unmet need, I would love to hear from you.
Karmen Lemke
Executive Director, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay
