Founded in 1935,

Catholic Charities East Bay has stood alongside our neighbors through life’s most challenging moments, serving the communities of Alameda and Contra Costa counties within the Diocese of Oakland. As an affiliate of Catholic Charities USA and a member of Catholic Charities of California, we are part of a powerful network dedicated to strengthening individuals, families, and communities.

For more than 90 years, we have believed that every person deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, security, and hope. Through housing support, mental health services, immigration legal assistance, family strengthening programs, and crisis response, we help people overcome barriers, achieve stability, and build brighter futures. Together with our donors, volunteers, partners, and supporters, we are creating stronger families, healthier communities, and an East Bay where everyone can thrive.
