Looking for ways to give back this month? You've come to the right place!
From offering diverse volunteer opportunities that enable individuals to make a difference, to providing avenues for donations that support our programs and clients, Catholic Community Services of Utah invites you to join us in executing our mission.
Below, you’ll find CCS’ current, most pressing needs and the ways that you can get involved.
Pantry Packs Needed at Basic Needs Ogden
Through the operation of the Joyce Hansen Hall Food Bank, CCS strives to ensure that those experiencing hunger in the Ogden community have access to the food they need.
One way we do so is by distributing Pantry Packs to schools in the Ogden area. We are currently in need of Pantry Pack donations. Read more on how to assemble and donate Pantry Packs.
Donations can be dropped off at 2504 F Avenue in Ogden on weekdays from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Sneakers, Undergarments, and Plastic Water Bottles Needed at Basic Needs Salt Lake
CCS’ Basic Needs Salt Lake serves those in our community impacted by homelessness, as well as food and income insecurity.
Currently, the facility is in need of undergarments, sneakers, and plastic water bottles. Shampoo, bar soap, and toothpaste are also needed.
Donations can be made through our Amazon Wishlist, or dropped off at 437 W 200 S, Salt Lake City, UT on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. More information can be found here.
Housing Donations Needed for Refugee Clients
CCS' Refugee Resettlement team works hard to make sure that all clients settling into life in Utah have a place to call home. You can play a part by donating housing or renting to incoming refugee clients. If you're interested, please complete this form. Upon completion, someone from our housing team will be in touch should a need arise that your donation can remedy.
The Refugee Resettlement team is also in need of household items to set up homes for newly arrived refugee families. Explore our Amazon Wishlist to view current high priority needs and donate. Learn more here.
Refugee Foster Care Parents Needed
Through CCS, unaccompanied minors are placed in licensed and loving foster care homes where they receive the services and care they need to reach self-sufficiency.
Refugee Foster Care is currently in need of more families to open their hearts and homes to these youth. Learn more about the program and how you can become a Refugee Foster Parent here.
Become a Refugee Youth or Family Mentor
There are plenty of ways to volunteer with the refugee community here in Utah! Currently, CCS has a need for Youth Mentors and Family Mentors for newly arrived refugee clients.
Thank you for the many ways that you choose to come alongside CCS in serving our community!
