Program areas at Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada
Food Service Operations:Catholic Charities believes that bringing hope to people builds spirit and self-reliance within them and their community. St. Vincent's food pantry is one of the largest food pantries in Nevada. In collaboration with the USDA, local businesses, and service groups, we offer fresh, canned, and packaged food products to individuals and families in need, at no cost to them. We also assist with SNAP enrollment, provide holiday meals, and serve pop-up pantries in rural, tribal, and frontier communities throughout northern Nevada. St. Vincent's dining room distributes approximately 1,000 hot meals a day in our dining room and delivered to the county homeless shelter.
Human Services Operations:Our human services operations include Crisis Intervention/Social Work, Senior Support Services, the Resource Hub, and Elevating Families Economic Mobility Mentoring. These services address the very core of our objective to help the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in our community. We provide a range of basic needs from diapers, bus passes, ID cards, to coordinated services that prevent evictions and homelessness such as energy and rental assistance. Additional services include benefits enrollment, workforce development, senior home delivery, bilingual workshops, and peer to peer support groups. Immigration assistance offers citizenship and translation services to families and individuals needing to establish their legal right to live, study, and work in this country. In addition to these services, the organization also provides food, housing, and wellness services to individuals and families.
