Our History

Milestones of Catholic Charities of Idaho:

With the leadership from Bishop Michael Driscoll, Catholic Charities of Idaho became a reality in July of 2000. Within a short period of time, services began with the hiring of an executive director and two social workers in July of 2001. Catholic Charities of Idaho is now a statewide multiservice organization creating hope, providing help and promoting justice throughout Idaho.

Catholic Charities of Idaho receives support from the generosity of donors, parishes, annual Diocesan Catholic Appeal, grants, foundations, fund-raising efforts, and a small percentage of United Way funding to support its Family Strengthening Centers and other programs.
