Catholic Charities of California

Catholic Charities of California is a statewide network of local agencies working to reduce poverty and support people facing hardship. Its services include food and nutrition assistance, healthcare and wellness programs, disaster and emergency services, and immigration support.

The organization’s food assistance programs help connect Californians with nutritious food and related support through local Catholic Charities agencies, including Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, which serves as Sacramento County’s primary food bank. Catholic Charities also provides immigration services, including DOJ-accredited legal representation and affordable legal assistance for matters such as citizenship applications, DACA renewals, and family reunification.

Services are described as available regardless of religion, background, or immigration status, with support offered in multiple languages and based on ability to pay.

Additional resources for people seeking California homeless assistance and federal assistance may also be helpful.
