Services

Adoption/Pregnancy

Catholic Charities Adoption Services has been providing adoption services since 1941. Through ethics and leadership, Adoption Services
compassionately serves children throughout their lives by guiding, educating and empowering birth families, adoptive families and the community.

Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada has provided adoption services since 1941 and facilitates approximately 20-25 adoption plans each year. We are here to assist anyone considering adoption for their child to learn more about the adoption process and if this will be the right choice for you. We recognize this can be a difficult time and are here to offer support and guidance as you explore your options. Catholic Charities prides ourselves in our ethical, caring services we provide to all clients. We believe making an adoption plan for child is a very loving and selfless decision.

In the state of Nevada, parents cannot sign any paperwork consenting to an adoption before their child is at least 72 hours old. This means all work done during the pregnancy and immediately following the birth of the child is part of the planning process and is not legally binding. Prior to signing consent paperwork, a birthparent may choose to parent their child at any time.

Catholic Charities offers individualized, custom adoption plans. These plans are created by birth parents with the assistance of an adoption social worker. We also offer a monthly support group for birth parents as well as expectant parents considering adoption for their child. We have three full-time social workers, one of which is dedicated to working with expectant and birth parents. For more information visit: http://www.catholiccharities.com/adoption-pregnant/

Retail Services Closure

For several years, Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada has been operating resale thrift stores providing the community with reasonably priced clothing and household goods. Taking a thoughtful look at our mission and operations, we have determined that it is in the best interest of those we serve to close our distribution center and two retail locations, one on Eastern Avenue and Tropicana Avenue and the other on Rainbow Boulevard and Charleston Boulevard.

We endeavor to always be wise and effective stewards of our resources as we provide for our community’s most vulnerable. Amid the current landscape of the competitive Las Vegas retail market, closing our thrift stores allows our agency to focus on our core mission of providing food, shelter, and comprehensive services to more than 100,000 clients each year.

With that being said, we cannot serve this great number of our community’s most vulnerable without your help: we continue to rely on food and donation drives, financial support, and the gift of volunteer service. Thank you for all you do to give help and hope to people in need.

Here’s what companies say:

Our business has grown steadily in Clark County in spite of this prolonged recession. In 2010, our decision to locate here was because we would be seen as a big fish in a little pond as opposed to California where we would be a little fish in the ocean.  It's all about location. Southern Nevada is an important emerging market in which to do business, especially in the technology sector. The region has an extremely low instance of natural disasters, great accessibility to high-speed Internet connections, and the dry and mild climate makes cooling efficient and inexpensive. Clark County is an up-and-coming technology center, and a natural fit for any company to seriously consider.

The UNLV National Supercomputing Center enhances Southern Nevada's U.S. business competitiveness as a primary gateway for medical, energy and scientific data flow from coast-to-coast and markets abroad. Southern Nevada is the ideal setting for this facility, considered a "safe-zone" from natural disasters and having a highly sophisticated power grid in a rapidly growing market.

Cord Blood America, Inc. relocated from Southern California to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2009 for two key reasons, transportation and tax advantage. Our business depends on airports for movement of our products and convenient access to McCarran from our facility provided us with the assurance that we needed to maintain continuity to our service offering.  As important was the tax structure and regulatory environment which were more advantageous that what we experienced in California, and factored heavily into our decision to be here.

FRIENDSHIP DINNERS

Members and friends of First Presbyterian Church of Boise serve about 90 guests a meal, free of charge, on the first Thursday of each month. Volunteers are always welcome! Our guests include, but are not limited to, people receiving services from Boise Rescue Mission men's and women's shelters, Corpus Christie House, Interfaith Sanctuary, Women's and Children's Alliance, Salvation Army, and El Ada Community Action Agency, Inc. If you would like to help with the preparation, serving or clean up at this event, please contact the church office.

We are blessed to have the opportunity to partner with C.A.T.C.H to reach those in need. The organization helps place people in homes and assigns a case manager to help them build a more stable life for themselves. The program has been remarkably successful and boasts an 85-90% successful graduation rate.

First Presbyterian Church supports C.A.T.C.H. through the generous donations of parishioners. We currently work with two families per six month period. Since 2006 have helped over 13 families (including 27 children) and are currently supporting a family of three. We would love to expand our mission in this area and encourage you to make a pledge to C.A.T.C.H though First Presbyterian Church.

Because our building is situated a few blocks from downtown, we receive quite a bit of foot traffic from folks who are just looking to get out of the elements. We’ve found a daily need for a light sack lunch to hand out to our guests. Lunches are available every day, 11:30 - 1 pm and we distribute about 100 bags each week.

Our family-oriented meal site that serves hot, nutritious and delicious food is located on E. Long St. along with our Food Bank. We provide those in need with food and with fellowship, responding to all with humanity and respect. Our meal site serves one meal to over 80 Carson City residents each day.

Programs That Help

Adult Rehabilitation Program

For over 100 years, The Salvation Army has been providing assistance to people with a variety of physical and social afflictions through its United States based Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARCs).
​
Adult Rehabilitation Centers began in 1881 when William Booth - founder of The Salvation Army - opened shelters for homeless people on the streets of London, England. His initiative quickly spread to the United States, and to this day, people come to us with issues of substance abuse, legal problems, relational conflicts, homelessness, unemployment and a need for spiritual awakening and restoration.
​​
Drug and alcohol addiction are among the country's most destructive social problems, and The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Centers comprise the largest residential rehabilitation program in the United States.  This comprehensive program is free to the public and financed through our well known Salvation Army Thrift Stores.
​​
Adult Rehabilitation Centers are probably the most widely known of all The Salvation Army services. They provide long term, social model, and residential recovery programs for individuals seeking to deal with substance abuse and other addictions. They seek to help participants regain self-worth, learn how to build an orderly and disciplined life and become contributing members of society. Each program participant is provided with a clean and healthy living environment, nutritious food, group and individual counseling, spiritual direction, work therapy assignments and recreational activities.

IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE? WE CAN HELP

Valley Shelter is the only emergency shelter for women and children in the Nampa and Western Treasure Valley area.

If you need help now, we welcome you to Valley Shelter — our doors are always open. In fact, Boise Rescue Mission Ministries has a policy to never turn down anyone for food or shelter due to a lack of space.
