How You Can Help
Get Involved, Volunteer Today
Who is the typical volunteer?
Volunteers range in age from high school students to senior citizens. Many are individuals who come from parishes in the Diocese looking for opportunities to devote their time and talents to helping those in need. Some are retired individuals, others are housewives and still others come as groups to contribute their time as they can throughout the year.
What services does a volunteer provide?
Volunteers provide valuable assistance in several programs and services of Catholic Charities. They are dedicated people who want to respond practically to the needs of their neighbors in the society and thus join Catholic Charities to achieve our mission by “…providing help for today, and creating hope for tomorrow.”

- Volunteers must be at least 21 years old to be a home visitor with the elderly.
