Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Atlanta has served the community for 75 years as a faith-based nonprofit organization registered as a 501(c)(3) with EIN 58-1097003. The organization is grounded in Catholic social teaching and operates multiple service centers across the Atlanta area, including locations in Northlake and Tucker, Georgia.

The organization offers 20+ accredited social service programs across nine service areas: counseling services, parenting support, educational initiatives, financial health services, food security and resource support, housing counseling, immigration legal services, refugee resettlement, and veteran services. Services are specifically designed to be holistic and tailored to individual circumstances, with the stated goal of removing barriers to self-sufficiency and wholeness.

Catholic Charities Atlanta distinguishes itself through specialized refugee resettlement with documented outcomes (95% of resettled refugees achieve self-sufficiency within 240 days), a structured ESL-Workforce Initiative Program with 96% graduation and certification rates in hospitality careers, and comprehensive family support including parenting services where 85% of participants improve family relationships and 92% retain custody of children. The organization also provides immigration legal services for clients unable to afford representation and maintains 100% client satisfaction rates in domestic violence and crime survivor legal advocacy.

The organization served 11,918 individuals in the most recent year with significant community volunteer engagement (607 volunteers) and in-kind donations valued at $436,416. As a free-help nonprofit, Catholic Charities Atlanta relies entirely on donations, grants, and volunteer support rather than charging fees for services. This model ensures accessibility for low-income populations but means service availability depends on fundraising success and donor commitment.
