Catholic Charities Serving Central Washington provides help and creates hope for thousands of people each year regardless of religious, social, or economic background. Though serving the outreach efforts of the Diocese of Yakima, Catholic Charities is a separate charitable organization, funded in part by the State of Washington, federal contracts, the United Way across Central Washington, fees for service, grants, and charitable contributions. Although rooted in a Catholic tradition that shapes its core mission of service to all, at times as many as 85% of the agency’s staff is non-Catholic. Similarly, the vast majority of those being served are not Catholic. With nearly 32 service locations and almost 48,000 people served annually, the agency remains a testimony to its ongoing mission of “Bringing Hope to Life.”
At Catholic Charities, our most valuable resource is our people–with a diversity of backgrounds, life perspectives, and experiences. We have a team of smart, passionate, friendly professionals who are always learning and giving, and who understand the big picture of our mission to bring hope to life, especially for those most in need.
Our dedication to one another is what makes our organization unique. You can do the work you love, be your authentic self, and make an impact in the lives of thousands. We believe in a culture rooted in community, collaboration, and growth. From competitive salaries to benefits packages and equity, our employees enjoy benefits that not only improve their careers but their personal lives as well.
