The mission of Catholic Charities is to respond to Christ's call to care for those in need by providing compassionate social services for individuals and families living in Windham, Tolland, New London and Middlesex Counties. These services shall be provided in a fiscally responsible manner with an emphasis on quality, efficiency and effectiveness, with special attention to people who are underserved or disadvantaged.
Catholic Charities provides compassionate human services to individuals and families no matter their faith, race, ethnicity, age, gender or circumstances. Our primary goal is to assist individuals and families experiencing a situational or environmental crisis, in order to meet their immediate basic needs such as; shelter, clothing, utility and rental assistance, prescription assistance, emergency transportation and infant and toddler needs. In addition, we provide case management to clients which includes programs addressing; Parent Education, Job Preparation and Readiness Training, Resume Preparation, Financial Budgeting Skills Education, SNAP Assistance and Early Childhood Reading Program.
Furthermore, we become an advocate for other Social Services and/or support such as; Mental Health issues, Educational needs, Transportation needs, Medical concerns or issues, Child Care needs, DCF involvement and support and Legal History. If a client would like to receive any of these additional services outside of the agency, case workers would provide a referral to another community service provider and assist the client in program enrollment.
