Stories Connect You To Our Mission
These inspiring stories of clients, volunteers, and donors only represent a small portion of all the beautiful and uplifting moments that happen at Catholic Charities of Central Colorado.
A single mother struggling to put food on the table. A father trying to make a better life for his kids. A family trying to escape homelessness. We serve individuals and families facing all kinds of challenges. Our goal is to help each person achieve stability. Read these Stories of Hope to learn more about what we do.
