About Catholic Charities

Who We Are

Catholic Charities is a nonprofit agency of the Green Bay Diocese that provides services based on Christian values to individuals, families and the community. Since our founding in 1918, we have served the needs of the sixteen counties that make up the Diocese of Green Bay. Five offices with full-time coverage and additional outreach offices mean help is accessible from any area of Northeastern Wisconsin.

Who We Serve

Catholic Charities provides services for persons of any religious background, race or nationality.

Where We Are

We have offices throughout the Diocese of Green Bay. In addition, we do much of our work "out in the field" providing outreach, giving talks, and workshops.
