Why Volunteer?

Volunteering with Catholic Charities means that you are taking part in the social teaching of the Church, to love and serve God through our neighbors. Volunteering boosts your mood, helps you make social connections, develop skills, and most importantly allows you to be the hands and feet of Christ to our neighbors in need.
