Catholic Charities

Emergency Services

Our program responds to the basic human needs of people in our community who are struggling financially or live in poverty. Direct services include the Community Food Pantry, the medication assistance program, infant supplies, and shelter emergency assistance. Other seasonal projects include the summer lunch program for children, school supplies for kids, and the annual Christmas Baskets which provides complete holiday meals for many local families each year.

While working with our staff, people using this service are referred to other community programs that may be able to assist them on an ongoing, longer-term basis. They can also apply for Food Stamps and/or meet with a health insurance expert who assists with plan enrollment while at the Food Pantry.

For more information refer to the Emergency Assistance section of www.ccocc.org or call (607) 756-5992.
