Do I have to be Catholic to get help from Catholic Charities?

No, you do not have to be Catholic. We help all who qualify for our services, regardless of faith.

Are appointments required?

Yes, we ask that you schedule an appointment by calling us at 510-768-3100 or emailing us info@cceb.org

Where do you hold clinics?

We hold housing clinics and immigration clinics at each of our three offices, in Oakland, Concord, and Richmond. Appointments are booked at the beginning of the month.

Please call us at 510-768-3100 to make an appointment for a clinic.

I’ve tried to call, but I keep getting voice mail.

Due to the number of calls we get every day (more than 300), it is very likely you will need to leave a voice message that includes detailed information about the help you are seeking. Our staff continually checks voice mail to return calls. It may take a day or two to return your call.

How do I sign up to volunteer?

Volunteers are always welcome. Please visit our volunteer page to apply.

How can I donate to support your work?

 You can donate on our safe, secure Donate page. Your gifts are always welcome and make a big difference, especially since needs are increasing.
