Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami

While we assist anyone in need, our agency primarily focuses on serving the low-income population of South Florida. Our services have evolved since our founding in 1931 to keep pace with the changing needs of the community. Currently that includes adult day care and senior centers for the elderly; shelter and care for unaccompanied children and youth; quality early childhood education for low-income families; housing and homeless services for individuals and families; homelessness prevention services; counseling and substance abuse treatment; hunger prevention; and acculturation services for refugees and new entrants.

While our mission statement allows us to proclaim our commitment to charity and justice through the delivery of our services, our value statement is what guides us further; We serve people not because they are Catholic, we serve people because we are Catholic©

Each year we choose to focus on one area of service to benefit from the support received during Give Miami Day. We want to make sure that your gift goes to the communities that need it the most. This year, all proceeds will go toward supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity and struggling to afford enough to eat.

The Matthew 25 Food Pantry serves as a lifeline for over 2,000 households each month, providing emergency food assistance to more than 3,100 individuals in those households.  Catholic Charities is committed to making sure the most vulnerable in our community never face hunger and always know they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.
