“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot, and together we can do great things .”
– Mother Teresa
“Volunteering at Catholic Charities has brought me a great appreciation for all that I have in life and helping those in need is a firm reminder of what really matters… like family, friends, health, etc. It has given me a chance to see my own life in a different light.” —Roy Haas

Just how valuable are volunteers to our mission? Consider this
- Volunteers donated over 1948.3 hours to CCKCSJ in FY24.
- The State of Missouri values a volunteer hour at $25.43, adding up to $116,708!
But the value we receive when you volunteer exceeds any dollar amount. No matter what you have to offer, Catholic Charities welcomes you.
