Catholic Charities: Archdiocese of Milwaukee
Milwaukee, WI
Catholic Charities–Archdiocese of Milwaukee prioritizes serving individuals and families affected by poverty across the ten counties of southeastern Wisconsin, including refugees and immigrants. Through its Refugee and Immigration Services (RIS) program, Catholic Charities helps immigrants living in poverty pursue lawful status, achieve eventual citizenship, and gain the knowledge and tools needed to build stable and fulfilling lives in the United States. The program also emphasizes the importance of maintaining cultural identity while supporting full participation in the social, civic, and economic life of their new country.
For it is in giving that we receive.
