Catholic Charities serves men and women of all ages and families in need throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. From pregnancy and parenting support programs to outreach and behavioral health services, programs for refugees and immigrants, hoarding intervention and adult day care for seniors, we provide high-quality, compassionate human services to help those affected by poverty, trauma, disability, and isolation take steps to improve their quality of life.

To help those who need us most, we rely on the community-at-large for charitable cash contributions and volunteer service. In addition, our clients can benefit from receiving a care package with personal or household items that offer temporary relief along with comfort and kindness that will last. The following are suggested items for our client care packages. As the need and ability to store items varies from time to time and among programs, please call in advance to coordinate your donation with current client needs.
