Helping Our Neighbors in Need Across the East Bay

What We Do

Catholic Charities East Bay is dedicated to working locally in service to our neighbors in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Since 1935, we’ve grown and adapted our services to meet the evolving needs of our local communities. Our programs address housing stability, mental health needs, and immigration legal services. As soon as Catholic Charities is contacted, we begin by listening, seeking to understand their situation and establish trust. Our work is grounded in respect and compassion for those who seek our help.

With Catholic Charities’ help, I have a sense of peace. I was able to successfully be in a better place than I was before. It’s okay to ask for help and ask for support. That’s what they’re here to do.

I never thought to apply to become a citizen until a member of the congregation told me about Catholic Charities.  And they helped me in a very professional manner. I became a citizen because Catholic Charities helped me with great empathy.
