Catholic Charities Bishop William M. Cosgrove Center

Located in the heart of Cleveland, Bishop William M. Cosgrove Center (Cosgrove) is a lifeline for individuals experiencing hunger, homelessness, poverty, and marginalization. Cosgrove is one of the largest day drop-in centers in the Greater Cleveland area, providing breakfast and lunch daily, clothing and hygiene items, showers, a food pantry, and daily respite for those experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Clients at Cosgrove can also access emergency financial assistance, birth certificates and IDs, and a physical mailing address. Catholic Charities partners with a number of community organizations at Cosgrove to ensure that clients are connected to resources to support long-term stability and success.

Annually, Catholic Charities staff and volunteers serves more than 133,000 hot meals at Cosgrove.
