A volunteer’s time and talent can go a long way to support our mission and clients. Every hour you donate supports our ability to provide services to those in need. We work with volunteers of all faiths and backgrounds to match their skills, talents, and interest to
one of the many areas of need in our agency.

When asked why she volunteers at Catholic Charities, Mary replied, “I was taught at an early age the importance of treating every person with respect and helping those in need of assistance. Volunteering provides me with the opportunity to give to those in need and receive back so many blessings.”
Sherry commends Catholic Charities for its exceptional work in establishing a supportive community where people can come together for classes and events. "The organization has successfully balanced the integration of American and Afghan friends", creating an environment that Sherry describes as a blessing. Sherry has been working with three families, aiding with various aspects such as school, transportation, and local customs. Her greatest delight comes from spending time with the children, whether its tutoring or playing games - fostering a connection that often feels like becoming a member of their family.
