In our community, many of our neighbors are struggling to make ends meet. The Food Assistance Programs, run through our offices and food pantries, provide SNAP enrollment assistance and supplemental food. The Caring Coach, our mobile food pantry, is an outreach program that provides food and support to individuals and families in rural areas.
The support of local donors, local food banks, and the Florida USDA sustains our Food Pantries and Caring Coach.
Catholic Charities is passionate about being the hands and feet of Christ to those in need in our community. In these difficult times, the working poor and people experiencing homelessness need our help more than ever before. Thank you for considering a gift to our food pantry that will help care for our neighbors who are hungry.
Last year, over 90% of those we served were not Catholic; at Catholic Charities, our mission is to provide help, create hope, and serve all!
