Frequently Asked Questions
Catholic Charities serves anyone in the Greater Galveston-Houston region who needs us, from any religious background and from all walks of life.
What is Catholic Charities?
For 80 years, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston has provided food, clothing, shelter and a network of support services to people of all ages and from all walks of life and religious backgrounds. We also promote social justice, serving as a voice for the poor and vulnerable. We provide services to more than 85,000 people annually in the Greater Houston region as they create better lives for themselves and their families.
Does Catholic Charities only serve Catholics?
We serve people of all ages and from all walks of life and religious backgrounds, not just Catholics.
Are you the Church?
While we are a faith-based organization, we are not the church. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides human and social services to the Greater Houston region and surrounding areas. We do, however, collaborate with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and local parishes to address the needs in our community.
What areas do you serve?
We serve individuals and families in the ten counties throughout the southeastern area of Texas: Galveston, Harris, Austin, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Grimes, Montgomery, San Jacinto, Walker and Waller.
Where are you located?
We currently have offices in Harris County, Fort Bend County and Galveston County.
What services do you provide?
We have a range of programs that provide basic needs (food, clothing, emergency assistance, etc.), counseling, parenting education, services for seniors, women veterans and much more!
How is Catholic Charities and its programs funded?
Catholic Charities is funded by multiple sources: government and foundation grants, the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, individual and private donors (see our donor privacy policy), contributions from special events, program service fees and more. As a United Way agency and a member of Catholic Charities USA, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston also receives financial support from those agencies as well.
Are you supported by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston?
We do receive some funding from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, mainly through the Diocesan Service Fund (DSF); however, this only covers about 2% of our annual budget. Our Annual Operating Budget is primarily funded by state and federal grants and generous donations from foundations, corporations and individuals.
I need help. What do I do?
If you are in need of assistance, please call our main number at 713.526.4611, or visit our contact us page to see how we may best serve you.
You can also call 2-1-1 or visit www.unitedwayhouston.org/our-211-helpline to be connected to an agency that may be able to provide assistance.

Of course not. In fact, many of our employees are not Catholic.

🌀🏚️ Hurricane Beryl damaged the apartment Marie was supposed to move into, plus it knocked out the electricity. Since she’d already moved out of their previous home, Marie’s family were in limbo. 😓
🥰 Because of you, Marie and her children got emergency financial assistance so they could stay in the hotel while their new apartment was being repaired. That hotel kept Marie and her kids off the street.🙏❤️
“You went above and beyond for me,” Marie said. “I wasn’t just viewed as a person looking for a handout. I was seen as a human being.”

Choosing between being hungry or homeless isn’t something anyone should have to do, but that’s exactly what’s happening to Jordan and Lexi. 💔😥
The cost of food and rent is higher than ever, and this struggling family has been hit hard. 🤰 They just found out they’re expecting their first baby, and now they’re about to be evicted from their home. 🏚️
Your gift of just $26.67 can help Jordan and Lexi, and other families avoid homelessness.

🇺🇸 On this day, we remember the wise words of Martin Luther King Jr. 📿💞
“If you can’t fly, then run,
if you can’t run, then walk,
if you can’t walk, then crawl,
but whatever you do
you have to keep moving forward.”
