We have been serving individuals and families across southern Wisconsin since 1946.
Catholic Charities supports individuals and families in need—regardless of faith or background—empowering them to live with dignity and purpose. Rooted in the values of our faith, we provide essential services, including food assistance, support for those experiencing homelessness, substance use treatment, and programs for seniors and people with disabilities. Through compassion and community, we strive to offer hope and make a lasting impact.
