The needs of the poor and vulnerable for the vitally
necessary social services provided by Catholic
Charities are truly unimaginable…

Over 750,000 children, adults, and seniors in our two-county

region are living below the federal poverty threshold and desperately need
help from others in our community including Catholic Charities.

18% of our two-county region’s total population are considered very poor
and 30% are considered very low-income.

Catholic Charities is the #1 private non-profit referred by the 211 social

service hotline in both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.

Our offices receive over 2,000 phone calls each week from callers

seeking assistance from us.

Catholic Charities is one of the largest non-profit providers in our region that
fights poverty and its consequences. We provided tangible social services to

15,561 households in FY 2017-18...a big number, but not enough.

We can and must do more.

HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENT INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

Help the next generation of social service providers in our Inland Counties. We recognize there will be an
ongoing need for educated and trained social workers and other helping professionals to fight poverty well into the
future. Catholic Charities addresses this need in the following ways:

Non-Profit Social Work Fellowship Program
In partnership with CSUSB, we accept four Social Work graduate students each year and provide 50% tuition scholarships,
senior staff mentorship, and 60 hours of direct exposure to the mission, operations, and programs of Catholic Charities.

"Providing Help, Creating Hope" Community College Scholarships
Catholic Charities provides a $500 scholarship to a selected student at each of the twelve community colleges in our region.
All selected students have financial need and are studying to work in a human service field upon graduation or after earning a
four-year degree.

Internships & Field Placements
Field experience and training is an ideal way to inspire and develop the social service providers of tomorrow. Catholic Charities
grants a number of graduate, undergraduate, and community college students the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge,
values, and skills necessary to work in a non-profit setting while acquiring school credit.

Can Help


PROGRAMS & SERVICES

Maintain and expand our vitally necessary services and support our motto of “Providing Help, Creating
Hope” for the poor in our local communities.

The primary job of our caseworkers, therapists, and immigration specialists is to address an immediate, critical crisis
so poor and vulnerable families may move forward with their lives. It is daunting and serious work because these
families are in desperate need and often have nowhere else to turn for help.

By all means possible, staff address serious crises faced by families such as fear of becoming homeless, keeping food
on the table for their children, threat of utility shut-offs, harmful family dysfunction, youth emotional & behavioral
problems, and eligible immigrants intimidated by the very complicated process and applications required by US
Citizenship & Immigration Services.

We also have special programs for youth, family life skills classes, citizenship preparation classes, a spectrum of
holiday programs, group activities, and numerous informational workshops.
