What We Do


Catholic Charities of Colorado Springs offers many services within a 10 county area.  To access information regarding the services listed below, please click on the name of the service.

The Marian House

The Marian House is home to the Poverty Reduction services of Catholic Charities.  It is  comprised of two facilities:  The Soup Kitchen and the Hanifen Center.

The Soup Kitchen provides meals 365 days a year to anyone who comes to our door.  In just the past year, the number of meals served has increased 19% over the same time last year.  Even more staggering is the fact that the number of meals has increased 40% versus just two years ago.  Furthermore, the number of meals served to children has doubled in the past two years.

The Hanifen Center  brings all Catholic Charities emergency services together to meet the immediate basic needs of individuals and families.  It is home to the Marian House Client Services, Community Outreach, and Life Support Center programs.  Eventually, it will house offices for other social service providers who offer services in eight core areas:   housing, employment/income, life skills, education, mental health, medical/physical health, transportation, and childcare referrals.   The SET Homeless Medical Clinic is already located in the center as well as Housing First.
