Catholic Charities Volunteer Office Response to COVID-19
During the COVID-19 health crisis, Catholic Charities depends on volunteers’ support as much as ever to bring community connection and caring to people who come to us for aid. We are asking volunteers to be part of our mission through some new “projects-from-home” and by moving some existing activities online. Also, we’ve added a couple of volunteer projects to support and encourage our amazing, dedicated staff of caseworkers, shelter assistants, and food distributors who are on the front lines daily. Here’s how you can help:

We will add to the list as we develop more ways volunteers can help.

Catholic Charities’ clients and programs need your help more than ever! Check out the remote and in-person volunteer opportunities we are recruiting for now.

Volunteer for a defined role for at least 75 hours or 6 months, such as mentoring, behind the scenes help, and pro bono professional roles. These roles require a background check, references, and attendance at Volunteer Orientation but you have the opportunity to get more involved and do impactful work.
