Catholic Charities of Baltimore
Catholic Charities began with the establishment of the Catholic Church in America. John Carroll, the first Bishop of Baltimore, which was the first diocese in the New World, declared in 1792 that one-third of all parish revenues should go to “the relief of the poor”. Catholic Charities of Baltimore provides people in the greater Baltimore area, including nine Maryland counties, with a wide variety of social services. Catholic Charities of Baltimore runs 80 programs that focus on children and families, the elderly, and people with developmental disabilities; offerings include adoption services, child abuse prevention, food, immigration assistance, residential facilities, and services for homeless people. Catholic Charities serves more than 160,000 people of all religions each year. Money for Catholic Charities of Baltimore operations comes mainly from government contracts and grants. In addition, Catholic Charities of Baltimore relies on a network of about 10,000 volunteers. Catholic Charities of Baltimore was founded in 1923.
