What started as being apart of the Advisory Council, turned into Liz O'Grady volunteering to take care of Medina County's garden plot.

Every year, Catholic Charities Medina County grows fresh produce to add to their "Help Yourself Shelf", a place where community members can come and pick out food items they are in need of.

In past years, Liz and her fellow volunteers have grown tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and much more to add into the shelf!

"I feel like I'm making a difference in somebody's life," Liz said. "This is really a way for me to be here and be a part of making somebody else's life a bit easier."

After being in multiple different treatment facilities, Ashleigh had a seed planted in her when she saw a group of women having fun through sobriety.

"I wanted what they had." Ashleigh said.

She began to take the steps needed to be able to be in the same place as the women and to get custody of her daughter back.

"My goal was to go to sober living, get off probation, get full custody back of my daughter, get a job, get a car, and get a house, and graduate drug court," Ashleigh said, "and I've done all those things in almost two years of my sobriety,"

Addiction affects thousands of people daily, whether they are in active addiction or recovery. But the important thing to know is that there are always resources and people that will stand by you every step of the way.

Our team offers counseling and treatment services to help you or someone you know become and/or remain sober. We also now offer bilingual services for Spanish speakers!

When Anna was a cheerleader, she got hurt and was prescribed pain medication to help with her recovery.

Once she learned that her father was receiving the same medication, it peaked her interest and she was more open to try other and stronger substances.

Well navigating addiction, getting kicked out of her parents house, being hospitalized, and having her son, Anna decided to get sober on October 10th, 2017.

"You don't have to continue living your life like this," Anna said, "and just admitting to yourself that 'maybe I do need a little be of help,' that's the first step."

Here at Catholic Charities, we offer a variety of programs that can help you or a loved one through recovery of substance abuse.

Today, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Cleveland hosted its annual Easter meal service!

This year, in response to growing concerns around food insecurity, Catholic Charities restructured its holiday meal efforts to expand its reach across all eight counties of the Diocese—helping ensure that no neighbor goes unfed.

Through both in-person dining and take-home meal distribution, dedicated staff and volunteers came together at multiple sites to provide help, create hope, and serve all who walked through our doors.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s preparation and service. Your compassion and commitment made this possible.

From the young to the old—and everyone in between—the Diocesan Week of Service brought our community together in powerful ways to put faith into action.

Volunteers participated in many opportunities across the Catholic Charities system, from reading and playing with our Early Learning students to hosting a Lenten Prayer Service for our seniors in our Adult Day Services program in Akron. Moments like these remind us that service isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are.
