Catholic Charities

read moreMany of our services are essential: food, bill pay, transportation to dialysis, mental healthcare, and emergency assistance. We are working with the most vulnerable populations, many of whom are seniors who are particularly susceptible to this disease and families and immigrants who have barriers to healthcare access. So, our services will continue. And, as we do that, we are keeping the CSS family, our staff, clients, volunteers, and partners safe and healthy. Knowing that this pandemic will be with us for the next few months, we are positioning ourselves to respond for that period.

We address our clients' physical needs for food, clothing, and shelter, while simultaneously helping them improve mental health and overcome barriers to long-term stability and well-being. The Stay the Course program is a FREE resource at Columbus State Community College that helps students deal with life's unexpected challenges that get in the way of school.
