Catholic Charities Migration and Refugee Services

As the largest refugee serving agency in Northeast Ohio, Catholic Charities, Migration & Refugee Services serves thousands of newcomers each year.  We welcome the stranger by helping those displaced by war, violence, and persecution, to rebuild new lives in their new community.

We respect the dignity of each person and provide a supportive environment where each individual and culture is celebrated.  Building upon the courage and strength of these newcomers, we seek to empower them to achieve self-sufficiency and independence by offering a variety of supportive programs and services.

We are hoping you can assist us this Giving Tuesday with our #WeGiveCatholic campaign, which will help provide emergency services, such as rent, utility payments and basic day-to-day living necessities that many of us take for granted such as toiletries, cleaning supplies and simple household items.  Each year, we provide thousands of these goods to help refugee families restart their lives in the United States.  

No donation is too small and all contributions received will be used to provide families with these basic goods and emergency services in 2026.  

Thank you for walking hand-in-hand with a refugee.
