About
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago (“CCAC”) was founded more than a century ago to meet human need through the Mission of Charity. A trusted partner and steward, CCAC has grown to be one of the largest human service providers in the Chicago metropolitan region. With an operating budget of $180 million and more than 1,200 employees, CCAC serves nearly 400,000 individuals annually, many of whom live in the most underserved neighborhoods of Lake and Cook counties. We accompany anyone in need, regardless of their faith, gender, race, or ethnicity. In fact, the majority of the thousands of people we serve each day are not Catholic. The same is true for the majority of the people who work with us – they partner with us because they are drawn to our values and mission.
