Poverty Alleviation Services

Catholic Social Services provides a spectrum of services to address the ongoing crisis of poverty in our community.

One attribute of that crisis is hunger. In Ohio, one in every seven people — and one in every five children — struggles with hunger. Our Choice Food Pantry and FoodSource programs are working to meet the emergency food needs of our neighbors.

But our poverty alleviation programs don’t end with food. Hunger is a symptom of underlying issues that imperil family stability. We help our clients set and work toward goals that build on their own strengths and their aspirations for themselves and their families.
