CatholicCare Social Services Hunter-Manning is a registered not-for-profit, that has worked with the whole community to deliver support services and programs that meet the needs of children, young people, individuals, and families for over sixty years.
At CatholicCare, we are people-focused and walk alongside those in our community who need a bit of extra support to achieve their goals and live safe and well. In line with the principles of Catholic social teaching, the foundation of our work is striving for a world where people are fed, housed, safe, healthy and happy, and have positive relationships in their community.
CatholicCare is an inclusive organisation committed to helping everyone in need across our community, regardless of religion, age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or disability.
Your contribution will assist the vulnerable in the Hunter and Manning communities by enabling us to provide support services, food and assistance to those who need it most through our services and programs.
Our Community Kitchens receive no government funding and rely on the generosity of volunteers and donors to continue providing these vital services to people in our local communities.
