Caritas of Waco has served families in the local community for over 53 years. We are committed to fighting poverty and food insecurity by providing access to vital resources to those who are most vulnerable. Caritas of Waco emergency service programs provide an immediate assistance, that leads to a greater holistic approach. The ultimate goal is to help clients move from a state of dependency on assistance, to a greater level of self-reliance by providing access to the education, tools and resources needed to be stable long-term.

Making A Difference Together

"I support Caritas because I believe in the mission and see the need in our community. In addition to the food pantry and the many client services that are offered, I find it very beneficial that Caritas offers job training and certifications which allow the client to become self-sufficient. I encourage everyone to consider supporting Caritas, whether it be financially or as a volunteer. You’ll be amazed by the dedication of Caritas’s staff and actually see the impact of your contribution. "
