Catholic Charities Diocese of Venice, Inc. works to lift families and individuals out of poverty. Often needy clients do not have emergency funds to sustain a temporary and unexpected expense. Many families and individuals live paycheck to paycheck and are at risk of becoming homeless if they are faced with a financial burden. The Catholic Charities Financial Assistance Program offers clients relief and the opportunity to remain self-sufficient.

We anticipate a large volume of calls, therefore we strongly recommend that you email us at info@catholiccharitiesdov.org
