We offer homeless and needy clients a food pantry and closet. We need caring volunteers to check clients in to our system so that they're recorded and can get access. Check-in is a simple computer-based process that involves no more than data entry.
For first-time clients, you'll ask for contact information such as address along with family size and whether or not the client receives food stamps or has medical insurance. The process takes 10 minutes or less.
We provide training and support.
We need help mornings and afternoons. We're flexible; we'll work with your schedule.
Help us help our needy clients.
Thank you.

Mission Statement
Catholic Charities fulfills the Church’s role in the mission of charity to anyone in need by providing compassionate, competent and professional services that strengthen and support individuals, families and communities based on the value and dignity of human life. In order to remain faithful to our mission, Catholic Charities is guided by these core values: Respect, Compassion, Competence and Stewardship.
Description
Catholic Charities began in 1917, when a group of Catholic businessmen petitioned Cardinal Mundelein to create a central Catholic charity in Chicago to relieve the burden on Catholic parishes, which were struggling to meet the needs of the poor in their communities. World War I had just ended, the Spanish Influenza Epidemic was sweeping the globe, and immigrants were arriving daily in a city growing by leaps and bounds. The organization was chartered in January 1918, and Cardinal Mundelein addressed the 200 board members at their first annual meeting in April of the following year. He reported on the agency’s immediate success in raising funds and serving the poor.
