We truly wish we could help everyone in need. Our resources are limited, but we are committed to assisting as many people as possible. If we are unable to assist, please contact 211 or findhelp.org for other partners who may be able to assist.

Yes! We are called to accompany all people in need, regardless of their faith, gender, race, or ethnicity. Additionally, we invite anyone with a desire to serve to volunteer with us.

The social service arm of the Catholic Church in the United States was founded more than 100 years ago to meet human needs through works of mercy. We have been serving continuously ever since. Today, while we operate as a separate entity, the Diocese provides staff, administrative support, and our outreach building, allowing us to partner with local parishes, community partners, and organizations in northern Alabama to serve our neighbors in need.

There are several ways to connect with our team, and we’re here to serve you in the way that best meets your needs.

The Catholic Center of Concern has a rich history of engagement with a corps of dedicated volunteers. We also partner with individuals, groups, and parishes each day to carry out our mission to serve and accompany those in need. Opportunities to have a meaningful, purposeful impact on the lives of others and to live faith out loud exist every day.

To determine your eligibility for our programs, we typically request proof of identity, income, and housing status.

Specific documents may vary based on your situation, so please contact us, and we’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed.

We will be verifying the legitimacy of all documents to protect the generosity of our valued donors who make our services possible.

While the Catholic Center of Concern does not operate our own shelters, we partner with organizations that provide safe, temporary housing. We can help connect you to a shelter or explore other housing options that fit your needs.

Though we cannot help you with hotel payments, we may be able to assist with helping you find more stable, long-term housing. Please reach out to us for a personal assessment of your situation.
