Programs
Feeding the Hungry.
Counseling the Struggling.
Building Strong Families.
Catholic Charities West Michigan offers more than 50 social service programs that provide hope families and individuals across West Michigan.
Adoption
We see adoption as a loving choice. Catholic Charities West Michigan walks alongside all members of the adoption triad—birth parents, adoptive parents, and especially the child—with a commitment to love and respect for everyone involved.
Counseling
We support those facing the challenges of everyday life by offering mental health counseling for children, adults, couples, and families in across West Michigan.
We assist and support “at risk” families through strength-based, solution-focused counseling and family preservation services. Families learn to reduce risks, resolve differences, and improve interactions so that they can flourish.
Foster Care
Our goal in foster care is reunification of the child with the birth family. For over 50 years, we have been working with foster families whose love and support have allowed many children and teens to have loving adults on their side.
God's Kitchen
Our food programs are dedicated to fighting food insecurity by serving warm, nutritious meals. We seek not only to fill a hunger for food, but also a hunger for hope.
St. Gianna's No Cost Baby Boutiques
Located in Grand Rapids and Muskegon, our boutiques offer a selection of free items for infant and toddler care, including diapers, clothing, books, and more for children ages 0-5.
Pregnancy Services
We offer pregnancy support services at no cost. Our counselors are skilled at working with pregnant women and their families to explore issues that arise through pregnancy and the first year of life.
Senior Services
We seek to engage persons ages 55+ in meaningful volunteer service to meet critical community needs through the One Township at a Time program, Foster Grandparent program and Senior Companion Program of the AmeriCorps.
Social Justice
We seek to put faith in action by responding to the call of Catholic social teaching on local, national, and global issues. We provide advocacy, awareness, and value-added programming in conjunction with the Diocese of Grand Rapids.
