CCUSA Launches "We Are There" Awareness Campaign

Catholic Charities-Diocese of Lubbock 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.

 

For 40 years, Catholic Charities-Diocese of Lubbock has brought comfort, hope and relief to our neighbors on the South Plains, regardless of their faith. Catholic Charities-Diocese of Lubbock is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and Lubbock Area United Way partner agency, that provides a variety of services to Lubbock and 29 surrounding counties, including free counseling to children and families, emergency assistance, a food pantry, kinship resources, legal immigration services, and aid to the elderly.

The work that Catholic Charities-Diocese of Lubbock does on the South Plains 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, selfless 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 vulnerable 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 on the South Plains, Catholic Charities-Diocese of Lubbock will continue to highlight the different ways we aid and accompany our neighbors in need.
