Catholic Charities employs twelve (12) individuals including an executive director, community organizers, an immigration attorney, U.S. Department of Justice accredited representatives, a victim advocate, three paralegals, two receptionists, and a student intern. We are the only nonprofit organization in our service area that offers a defense of deportation and legal representation for asylum seekers. We also work with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and nonprofit partners to expose and combat human trafficking in our border community. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Catholic Charities has provided $500,000 in direct assistance to those in need.
