Our Culture
A workplace rooted in purpose, people and possibility.
At Catholic Charities, our work is about more than a job. Every day, we walk alongside our neighbors, create hope, and build a stronger community. We believe people do their best work when they feel supported, valued, and connected to a mission that matters.

Our 2025 winner
St. Teresa of Calcutta Award
Every year, our staff votes to celebrate one of our coworkers with the St. Teresa of Calcutta Award. This award honors team members who live out the spirit of St. Teresa through faith, hope, and compassion. It recognizes those who make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and help create hope in our community.
In 2025, the recipient of the award was Erin-Michelle Luttrell, Serve&Lift Market Manager, for her limitless compassion and her tireless work keeping our neighbors fed.
