How Your Donations Help

Nearly one in four Santa Clara County residents can't make ends meet. We urgently need your financial support to help them rise up out of poverty. Our programs are designed to create wellness and self-sufficiency. We help people help themselves get back on their feet so they can change their lives for good. Your donation to Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, in any amount, makes that possible.

On related web pages, you can read client success stories: isolated seniors making friends and getting good, hot meals; poor families learning to budget and save money; refugees from war-torn countries starting over; homeless people getting back into housing; and more.

You'll also see how specific dollar amounts can work through Catholic Charities, from $10 transportation passes to a $10,000 library for children in low-achieving schools.

Your support is vital to our hard-working volunteers, staff and clients. Together, we are making a better community for everyone.
