Make A Donation

Caritas is able to provide hope to those in need, due to the generosity of community partners and donors like you. Before the pandemic, 26% of Waco families were living in poverty and unable to meet basic needs. Now, during this unprecedented time, more families than ever before, are needing assistance. Your support helps us provide people with not only hope, but food and other emergency services, and the case management resources needed to help them begin their journey out of poverty. Thank you for donating today to support our mission.
To make a donation by mail, please send a check or money order made payable to Caritas of Waco to: 300 South 15th Street, Waco, TX 76701.

Intensive Case Management

RESOURCES TO OVERCOME LIFE BARRIERS

Long-term Impact

The Intensive Case Management program helps clients identify and address obstacles preventing them from being stable. Case managers assess, plan, implement, and monitor plans based on each client’s individual need. Clients enrolled in case management receive support and access to life-skills resources to help them become stable long-term.

In addition to nutritious food through our pantry program, clients have access to (when inventory is available) diapers, toiletries, and feminine hygiene products. We also provide emergency financial assistance for rent/mortgage, utilities, transportation, clothing, household items, and prescriptions, when funds are available.

Making A Difference Together

"I had reached out to another local agency for help and it was over 30 days before I heard back from them. I was able to connect with a Caritas case manager the day I called and she answered all of my questions immediately…it was amazing what Caritas was able to do for my family. I have never needed help like this before. It's hopeful to have an organization that didn’t make me feel bad about the situation I was in."
