Story

Each day, our work makes a difference in the lives of our clients. Whether it is a child victim of sexual abuse, a teen struggling with mental health, a parent overcoming addiction, a loved one navigating their grief journey, or a senior needing a ride to a medical appointment, we need to be there for them when they reach out for help.

At Catholic Charities of Jackson, Lenawee and Hillsdale Counties, our goal is to make our counties healthier, more compassionate communities by empowering individuals with the capacity and the desire to improve their quality of life.

Since 1958, we’ve led the battle against the issues that plague so many in our neighborhoods. We provide an array of human services, regardless of faith or ability to pay, welcoming everyone with open arms and open hearts.

Our Mission

Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor. At Catholic Charities, we carry out that command by providing help and creating hope for individuals and families who come to us for support.

The mission of Catholic Charities of Jackson, Lenawee and Hillsdale Counties is the work of the Catholic Church, to share the love of Christ by performing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.

Our goal is to give our clients the skills and confidence to lift themselves out of negative situations and become productive members of our community. But, we cannot do this important work without YOUR support. Make a difference by starting a fundraiser for us for our "Choose Your Challenge" event. Top fundraisers will be recognized at our live event on Saturday, August 1st. Find out more at https://catholiccharitiesjlhc.org/events/.
