Western New York Catholic Charities assistance programs.

A number of churches are part of the Catholic Charities of western New York organization. Get emergency financial help for bills, free counseling or therapy, boxes of food, and senior help among other resources. Resources are available to the low income in the counties of Wyoming, Genesee, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua County. Catholic Charity Programs may also be available for some of the surrounding cities as well. Find help from Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Catholic Charities below.

Emergency financial help from Catholic Charities

Contact a center to look into any Emergency Assistance programs. Applicants will need to go through a free, quick assessment. Limited funds will help pay for bills ranging from car repairs to rent, moving costs, gas for a job interview and more. If you are found to be qualified and if Catholic Charities can meet your need they will assist. Or some individuals may receive a referral to an appropriate non-profit community resource in Genesee County or other regions.

The staff is aware of services that are available within the agency and the community at large. Get help with meeting basic needs such as financial assistance food, prescription medications, housing, electric and heating expenses.

Often combined with any financial aid is appointments for personal, credit and family counseling. Or maybe attend budgeting and financial management classes. All of this is offered by the intake staff in an effort to address the root cause of the hardship.

During the cold New York winter, look into the Neighbor For Neighbor Heat Fund which is offered for National Fuel customers. Catholic Charities process applications for this resource. The program is focused on helping elderly, low income, handicapped, disabled, or others who are struggling. Funds for paying heating bills may be offered to residents facing medical emergencies. All grants are paid out on a first come, first serve basis to qualified residents. Call (716) 896-6388
