Catholic Community Services of Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — Catholic Community Services of Utah is joining with the Catholic Charities network around the country to participate in We Are There, a national awareness campaign highlighting the life-giving services Catholic Charities agencies provide in their local communities.
Since 1945, CCS Utah has brought comfort, hope and relief to our neighbors, regardless of their faith, along the Wasatch Front. The agency does so through nine programs serving those experiencing food and income insecurity and homelessness, as well as refugees and those of other immigration statuses forced to flee their homes.
The work that CCS Utah does in our community is mirrored by services provided at Catholic Charities agencies around the country. There are 168 independent Catholic Charities agencies and 3,900 collective locations spread out across the United States and its five territories. Collectively, the Catholic Charities network served more than 15 million people last year and provided more than 30 million meals to those in need. The dedicated staff of Catholic Charities agencies are aided in this work by the indispensable contributions of more than 215,000 volunteers nationwide. The services offered by each local Catholic Charities agency differ because they are tailored to the specific needs of the members of their individual communities.
Catholic Charities USA, the national membership organization for Catholic Charities agencies, organized and launched the We Are There campaign. Over the coming months, the campaign will raise awareness for the work of Catholic Charities through a variety of national media outlets. Here in Utah, CCS will continue to highlight the different ways we aid and accompany our neighbors in need.
