Caring for people. Valuing lives. Strengthening communities.

We believe that seeing the inherent value of every individual is a call to action - a call to help others - to give of ourselves - and to love. Every day, at our 80 programs across 200 locations throughout Maryland, Catholic Charities of Baltimore serves children and families, immigrants, individuals with intellectual disabilities, people living in poverty and seniors, filling both immediate needs and providing longer-term support that encourages independence.
