Inspired by the Gospel mandates to love, serve and teach, Catholic Charities of Baltimore provides care and services to improve the lives of Marylanders in need.

We all have hope.

When you see people experiencing homelessness, poverty, addiction, unemployment, behavioral or mental health challenges, even struggling to feel safe in a new country— you hope things get better for them.

They have the same hopes as you. But their path to self-sufficiency can be filled with obstacles. That struggling mom, that man on the corner, that troubled child needs something more.

Hope is just the start.

What makes us different is why and how we serve neighbors in need. Put simply: it’s about love. Take a moment to meet Rose and Wardi, Sean and Andy, Amiyah and Carmen, Tiffany and Kris, Seneca and Wendy. You’ll see what we mean. You’ll see why it matters.

When individuals improve their lives, communities get stronger—including yours. With more than 80 programs in 200 locations across Maryland, we walk with our neighbors, offering resources and support to find what we all want—a stable, secure, healthy life. This is our mission in action.
