Serving People
Over 40,000 individuals and families received help from Catholic Charities

With your support, Catholic Charities during 2010 served
40,602 of your Southwest Florida neighbors in need in the 10 counties of the Diocese of Venice. The daunting task of serving needy children, struggling families, lonely elderly, refugees, migrant workers and their families was accomplished by the hard work of a small but committed professional staff supported by a corps of dedicated volunteers and the assistance of thousands of donors, benefactors and friends.
Catholic Charities helps all people regardless of race, nationality
or creed. A full 94 cents of every dollar donated was used to
support those who need it the most.
