Caritas

Our mission...to provide urgent support to people in need in our community. Caritas helps anyone who has urgent needs, regardless of age, sex or ethnicity. The majority of recipients are residents of McLennan County, although there are no geographical restrictions to receiving services. Recipients are interviewed through our Case Management program to determine their needs. Because nearly 30 percent of the people in Waco live in poverty, our vision is to eliminate hunger in McLennan County by providing direct services through our food pantry, through advocacy, while working with other hunger relief programs in Central Texas. Together, we can give help and hope to those who have little.
