CATHOLIC CHARITIES IMPACT REPORT 2013
POVERTY
FOR NO ONE.
OPPORTUNITY
FOR EVERYONE.
a message from our leadership
You are changing lives every day. With your support, Catholic Charities is working harder than ever to meet the increasing needs of the poorest and most
vulnerable in our community. We’re preventing poverty before it takes hold, saving lives in moments of crisis and providing pathways out of poverty.
This summer marked the first full year at Higher Ground, where we provided permanent homes for 95 individuals who were formerly homeless. Every day at
Higher Ground we see benefits of providing permanent housing in a safe, dignified environment, filled with light and hope. The impact of Higher Ground is guiding our
work as the Saint Paul community comes together to revision the future of the Dorothy Day Center.
At Exodus Residence, we have an award-winning new program to provide housing, nursing, meals and other supports to 89 homeless individuals, some of whom are recovering from
major medical treatments. These individuals otherwise would be living and sleeping in shelters or on the streets. At Exodus, they have a safe place to heal and restore their health.
And last spring, Catholic Charities was proud to work together with dozens of community partners for an unprecedented advocacy effort that resulted in a $4 million state investment
in the Homeless Youth Act. With your voices, we inspired Minnesota lawmakers to help ensure that every young person in our community has the opportunity to move out of
homelessness — and on to a better life.
You make this possible. Thank you! We are grateful for your support and steadfast commitment to advance our vision of a community where there is poverty for no one and
opportunity for everyone.

Catholic Charities serves those most in need. We are a leader at solving poverty, creating opportunity and advocating for justice in the community.
For over 140 years, Catholic Charities has served the poorest and most vulnerable members of our community. Today, we are the largest comprehensive social
service nonprofit in the Twin Cities region. As the need for our services increases and becomes more complex, Catholic Charities is working to adapt and respond.
We respond in three ways – preventing poverty, meeting basic needs in times of crisis and creating pathways out of poverty. In these areas, we serve the
following customer groups with over 40 different programs at 17 locations throughout the Twin Cities:
People Experiencing Homelessness.
At places like the Dorothy Day Center, Higher Ground and the Opportunity Center we provide meals, shelter and opportunities to find jobs, secure a stable
home and medical assistance for those who need it.
Children in Need.
At places like St. Joseph’s Home for Children and Northside Child Development Center we serve children and their families with early childhood education,
comfort in times of crisis, and mental health counseling for bright, strong futures.
Refugees and Immigrants.
Catholic Charities helps refugees and immigrants work towards independence by connecting families and finding housing.
Older Adults.
We serve older adults and those with disabilities, helping them live independently in their own homes and connecting
homeless elders to housing.
The Twin Cities Community.
By meeting the needs of those most vulnerable, we help improve the quality of life for the entire community.
Lovie’s Story: Giving families the support they need
For Lovie, a single mom living in north Minneapolis, Northside Child Development Center is
something she can count on for support, education, safety and peace of mind. Lovie has been
bringing her children to NCDC since Jakhai, now 10 was 2 and Lynae, now 8, was a baby. Staff at
NCDC even make regular visits to the kids’ nearby elementary school. Lovie said it really does take the
whole community to raise a child, and Northside has helped her and her family to grow and thrive.

“Peace

mind
isn’t something you can
pay for or get that easily.
I get that by bringing
my kids to Northside.”

Bob’s Story: Responding with hope, resources when crisis hits
“I’ve never needed
Catholic Charities before, but
I’m so glad that you’re here.”
Bob had a job and an apartment of his own, until illness struck last fall. He lost his apartment, his job and his leg. But with
determination, he didn’t lose his decade of sobriety or his willingness to work hard. When he left the hospital he was sleeping
nights in a local shelter, attempting to get around with a walker. Through the Transitional Recuperative Care program at
Catholic Charities’ Exodus Residence, he recently moved into his own apartment and is learning to walk again.

Fred and Janiene’s Story: Helping OLDER adults live independently
Without the support of Catholic Charities’ Aging Services program, a St. Paul married couple would
not be financially and physically able to live together in their apartment. Fred needs regular medical
care and Janiene, who has multiple sclerosis and other health problems, lacks the strength to care for
him. Catholic Charities helps with meals, medical items such as compression socks, a lift chair recliner
and other items. We also help the couple navigate other programs and services available to them.

maria’s STORY: Providing new Americans with the means to dream and thrivE
“I am far away from home, but
it feels much
better here.”
Maria spent 15 days traveling by land from El Salvador to America. After growing up amidst civil war, she came to this
country seeking peace, opportunity and family. Catholic Charities helped Maria with her immigration paperwork, school
supplies for her children and to adjust to life in a new country. Maria dreams of a better future for her son,
David, who was born in America. She also prays for immigration reform, so she may have a pathway
to citizenship in the country she calls home.

There is much to be done as we work to build a community where there is poverty for no one and opportunity for everyone.
We cannot do it alone and depend heavily on the community­­­­–our donors, volunteers, advocates, business, civic and faith leaders
coming together to change lives. Last year, Catholic Charities benefitted from incredible community support and engagement, including:

More than 187,000 hours of volunteer service
More than 18,000 individual donors
Donations from nearly 400 corporations, foundations and organizations
Gifts from 50 individuals and families who named Catholic Charities in their wills and estate plans
Involvement of over 10,000 community members to advocate on behalf of those most in need in our community, generating countless ripple effects
At Catholic Charities, we believe our success depends not only on providing direct services, but also on our ability to inspire others to advocate for a
stronger community so that fewer people find themselves homeless or in crisis. Last year, Catholic Charities donors, volunteers and advocates
were part of an unprecedented advocacy effort that resulted in a $4 million state investment in the Homeless Youth Act. Because of your
advocacy and support, 2,500 homeless youth now have a better chance to get out of homelessness and on to brighter futures.
