Who we are
Catholic Social Services of Washtenaw County has been dedicated to improving the lives of our community's most vulnerable citizens since 1959. Serving thousands of individuals and families of all faiths and all walks of life, CSSW offers more than two dozen programs reflecting the diversity of our community: adoption and pregnancy counseling, food assistance, homelessness prevention, domestic and child abuse intervention and prevention, family therapy, and services designed to assist older adults, individuals with developmental disabilities, and at-risk families with young children.
CSSW supporters step up to help those in need
“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”
The holidays are over, but the needs of vulnerable families are not. Thanks to the the gifts and donations to our Good Samaritan Annual Appeal this past season, they have not been forgotten. We do not walk alone in our mission to help our neighbors in the most difficult of circumstances; with you, we are part of a community.
On behalf of the thousands of families of all walks of life we serve each year, we truly appreciate you supporting what we do and why we do it. Help us help others others today, tomorrow and in the months to come. You may donate online or print our donation form and mail it to our home office.
