Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago is a large nonprofit organization in the field of individual and family services, based in Chicago, Illinois. Founded more than a century ago to meet human needs, it commits to helping people regardless of faith, race, gender, or ethnicity. Its history includes mobilizing Catholic communities during the 1917 pandemic to expand its reach, a spirit that continues to drive its work across Cook and Lake counties. Positioned as a trusted partner and steward within the community, the organization is recognized as one of the leading providers of social services in the Chicago metropolitan region. It serves diverse populations in the city and surrounding areas, operating within the broader landscape of human services.
