For more than a century, the Catholic Charities network has offered people of goodwill a vehicle to do love and serve their neighbors. Over time, our services, priorities and leadership have evolved; the mission has not.
Summary
As Catholic Charities USA embarked on a strategic planning process, it was drawn to listen intently and to analyze the signs of the times. Our agencies serve communities in the United States and its territories that are ever-evolving, where opportunities and obstacles shift from year to year; our strategic planning process needed to reflect that reality.
We undertook a deep reading of these signs, which include such troubling indicators as increased food insecurity, a shortage of social service personnel, growing polarization and disillusionment and dramatic levels of mental health challenges.
We were guided by one question during the planning process: Will this help our members to more effectively and efficiently serve people living in poverty and as members of vulnerable populations? CCUSA sees three areas of focus in which we can strengthen our support for our network: leading national, connecting regionally and strengthening locally. We invite you to learn more about the process and the plan here.
