What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Emergency Stabilization & Homeless Prevention Programs
Our four area offices serve as the center for a number of programs that provide for basic needs and financial assistance, as resources allow. Our area office staff focuses on assisting individuals and families to address the risk factors that have resulted in food, housing, and socioeconomic insecurity. Our case management efforts are aimed at helping clients to stabilize their immediate circumstances, address any urgent safety concerns, learn to appropriately budget and manage their resources, plan for further education or a more stable job placement, and work proactively with the case manager to move along a path to self-sufficiency.
At our Worcester, Leominster, and Milford area offices, we offer choice food pantries to all individuals and families. We encourage those who visit our pantries to select those items that are most appropriate for their family’s needs, and we make every effort to provide fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats that assist them to prepare nutritious meals.
Recovery Programs
Catholic Charities Worcester County provides structured residential substance use treatment for women and men, 18 and older.
The Crozier House and the Women’s Recovery Program are a three to six-month residential program for the treatment of a substance use disorder and co-occuring enhanced disorder(s).
The Crozier ¾ House is a continuance of the daily program of sobriety, in a semi-structured community setting, preparing its residents for independent living.
Mercy Centre
Mercy Centre is a program of Catholic Charities located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy and Catholic Charities in the 1960s, the program serves over one hundred adults with developmental disabilities, ages eighteen and over, in four different programs from the Worcester County extended area. The Adult Services programs have been in existence fifty years.
Our programmatic services are tailored to meet individualized needs and preferences. The emphasis is placed on enriching lives through employment, training, skill building, and a full range of activities. Each program fosters growth in building self-esteem, independence, communication skills, and encourages interactions with peers and community members.
Citizenship & Immigration Services
Our Citizenship Assistance and Education program offers classes for legal permanent residents wanting to pass the U.S. Citizenship Exam. *Citizenship immigration counseling and application assistance are also available.
The Immigration Services team at Catholic Charities provides assistance with the various forms of immigration applications, including family-based immigration, adjustment of status, employment authorization, and other related immigration forms and procedures. We also provide referrals for immigration physicals.
Home Care
Our home care staff is trained to provide a variety of support services which are necessary to maintain a disabled or dependent person safely and comfortably within the home setting.
Locations: Athol, Gardner, Greenfield, Leominster, Milford, Southbridge, Shelburne Falls, and Worcester, MA
Family Shelter
The family shelter, subcontracted through Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance Inc., provides temporary emergency shelter when circumstances resulting in homelessness cannot be avoided. We support families with a combination of case management and direct service, provided in an environment that affirms the dignity of the individuals being served. Both one and two-parent families are welcome. Families are referred to our agency through the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and represent different towns and cities. Every family completes an assessment that helps us to address their immediate needs and move towards self-sufficiency.
Each family has their own room and shares the following common areas: kitchen, bathroom, living room, playroom, and outdoor recreational areas. In addition, parents will need to cook their own meals and participate in chores to maintain the facility.
Senior Community Service Employment Program
Our Senior Community Service Employment Program provides employment, training, and job search assistance to low-income, older job seekers that will lead participants to get an unsubsidized job. Participants must be 55 years old or older and provide up to 20 hours per week of community service work, for which they are paid minimum wage, at non-profit and government agencies.
We aim to help those who meet one or more of the following criteria:
55 or older
Unemployed
Low-income
Participants must fall at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines
We prioritize those who are experiencing the following:
Homelessness or at risk of homelessness

Low literacy skills
Veterans or qualified spouses of veterans
Severely limited employment prospects
Holiday & Special Assistance
Bishop’s Holiday Dinners
We provide Thanksgiving and Christmas Day dinners with the Bishop for people who would otherwise be alone on these holidays. Catholic Charities volunteers serve the noontime sit-down dinner to those with access to transportation at the Cathedral of Saint Paul in downtown Worcester, MA.
Holiday Meals Delivery
With the assistance of hundreds of volunteers and sponsors, we provide more than 6,500 meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. These meals are delivered to home-bound elders and physically disabled individuals who would otherwise be without a holiday meal.
Backpack and School Supply Drive
Thanks to the generosity of local parishes, retailers and individual donors, each year Catholic Charities distributes new school supplies and backpacks to hundreds of children in need across our service areas.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
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.
