Catholic Outreach Services of San Angelo

Did you know that in Tom Green County we have over 300 homeless including children and 13,400 individuals living below poverty level in hunger and hopelessness. Catholic Outreach Services seeks to alleviate suffering by providing food, clothing, shelter and other services for the homeless and those in financial need in accordance with Matthew 25:35-40:"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was ill and you comforted me, in prison and you came to visit me. I assure you as often as you did it for one of my least ones, you did it for Me."

Catholic Outreach Services in 2025 served 88,486 individuals including 66,248 meals to the homeless and financially disadvantaged, 6,563 food pantry bags, and 9,286 clients received services at the front desk which includes men's and women's clothing, bedding, sleeping bags, hygiene items, Greyhound and city bus passes, hotel charity, gas charity, medical charity, phone charity, emergency disaster relief including flood and fire, utility and rental assistance, and agency referrals. Immigration services and prison ministry were also provided. Catholic Outreach Services is funded mostly by individual donors and support from the local Catholic churches. Food, clothing, and shelter services are provided free of charge to those in need. A 52% increase in the number of food sacks and 12% increase in the number of meals along with increasingly more individuals being served at the front desk has increased our budget needs. Any financial contribution that you could extend to Catholic Outreach will enable us to increase our ministry to so many in need at home in our own community.
