What is the Circle of Friends?


Our Circle of Friends annual campaign focuses on individuals giving gifts that enable us to continue renewing lives and restoring hope for the 100,000 individuals we serve annually in our community.

Why join the Circle of Friends?


Four out of five philanthropic dollars are contributed by individuals and bequests. With government funding of social services dramatically decreasing, we need the involvement and support from individuals like you to continue to provide the services fewer organizations are offering.

Reductions in human services funding has come at the worst possible time – New Jersey's unemployment rate hovers between eight and nine percent and growing numbers of middle-class families are losing their homes. Individuals who once donated to Catholic Charities now find themselves seeking our help.




Without your help, Catholic Charities simply could not fulfill the needs of the community.


Please review the levels of annual giving support and give thoughtful consideration to how you can help.
