Christmas Store

Whether individuals and families have experienced a flood, house fire, loss of income or simply need a little extra help providing Christmas for their families, we ensure everyone has the critical human and household necessities they need. Our comprehensive services also meet the most essential and basic needs of our neighbors including nutritious food, safe shelter and quality youth programming thanks to collaboration with key community partners, the unwavering support of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers.

Bethany House
Catholic Charities Terre Haute provides help and creates hope for our community, nourishing the minds, bodies and spirits of children, families, seniors and adults. Through Bethany House Emergency Shelter, Catholic Charities provides temporary housing, food, clothing and case management for families, single women and married couples seeking safe housing. Catholic Charities meets the most essential and basic needs of our neighbors through comprehensive services by providing safe shelter, nutritious food, quality youth programming and critical human and household needs. Thanks to collaboration with key community partners, the unwavering support of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers, we serve all at no financial cost, no matter their social, economic, religious, racial or ethnic background.
Clothes Closet
Located at Bethany House, the Free Clothes Closet is open to the public. We accept donated clothing, small household items, toys, books, bedding, etc.
In addition to serving more than 2,000 individuals monthly at the Closet, we also provide items to group agencies such as group homes, nursing homes, prisons, and other shelters for the needs of their clients.
Household Exchange
Bethany House Household Exchange secures, organizes and has available used and/or surplus items in the store building across Locust Street from the Bethany House. Items such as furniture, appliances, desks, and other types of household items used in furnishing an apartment or house are available. We clean and make minor repairs to usable items and give them to needy families and individuals. Persons needing these items include the homeless, low-income families, mothers on AFDC, fire victims and others in dire need. Another aspect of this project is the assistance to the donors and the community at large. It saves the donors dump fees at the landfills, provides a tax deduction and reduces the flow of items going to the landfill.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The goal of our strategic plan is to ensure administrative consistency across all programs, improve community awareness and demonstrate improved outcomes.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We will improve consistency across the Agency by refreshing our mission statements and aligning activities against our new mission. Improving operational processes and procedures across all programs will be implemented and monitored.
We will improve community awareness of what we do and how we help as well as timeliness of financial reporting.
A new business plan will be implemented to address decreasing contributions by grant agencies and new outcome measures for each program will be defined and followed.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our programming staff has years of experience in education and social issues. Working one-on-one daily with our client base allows them to quickly identify areas of need and direct patrons to the most appropriate type of assistance.
Through our vast list of community partners, we are able to offer those needing assistance a full and complete experience. With wrap-around services and long-term solutions, our goal is to have our patrons feel welcomed with a positive and life changing experience.
Through our experienced staff, community partners, active volunteer base and advisory council, we have shown that our programs offer long term stability and solutions to the needy of our community.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The following accomplishments are for the 2020 fiscal year:
Bethany House Emergency Shelter has provided safe housing for 45 adults and 15 children
Our Clothes Closet distributed gently used clothing and household items to 7,077 people
The Christmas Store made Christmas possible for 484 families (1,903 individuals)
Fishes & Loaves Soup Kitchen served 65,646 meals and 10,375 weekend sack lunches
Through the programs at Ryves Youth Center, 842 children participated in a variety of activities (sports, scouting, tutoring, preschool and reading programs)
We are extremely proud of the success stories that come from the people that we serve and each day. We know that our programs are making a positive impact in the lives of those in most need.
When James* was first introduced to Catholic Charities, it wasn’t as a volunteer, but as a patron. He was a resident of Bethany House and frequented the programs at Ryves Youth Center and enjoyed meals from the Fishes & Loaves Soup Kitchen with his family. His times and experiences with Catholic Charities stayed with Josh over the years and he now enjoys giving of his time to serve others. Josh is currently the Assistant Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 22 out of Ryves Youth Center and he volunteers with the Foodbank and soup kitchen as well – always taking on each task with a ‘yes and big smile!’
Raised by her aunt from a young age, Jane* was like most teenagers, rebellious and thinking she knew everything, she dropped out of school during the 7th grade. Feeling like she had no other option, Mary’s Aunt dropped her at Bethany House when she turned 18. As she sat on the back steps of the Bethany House, Mary shares, “I didn’t know where to go or what to do, I knew I was homeless.” With the assistance of our program, she was able to receive proper identification, birth certificate, a social security card, food stamps and Medicaid – and most importantly, a safe place to sleep and a roof over her head. During her time at Bethany House, Mary secured a job and was taught to save and budget, she enrolled in adult education courses and recently earned her high school diploma!

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Last updated: 02/27/2023GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more
- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
