Basic Needs - Family Assistance Program

At Catholic Charities’ Family Assistance Program in Galveston, TX, we are dedicated to uplifting individuals and families who are struggling to meet their basic needs, including food, clothing, housing, and health care. Our mission is rooted in compassion and support, providing essential resources that empower clients to move toward self-sufficiency. We offer a range of vital services such as health screenings, nutrition education, and case management, alongside assistance with applying for mainstream benefits like SNAP. Our advocacy efforts connect families with community resources, while our Saturday food fairs, held twice a month and open to all without ID requirements, ensure that emergency food is readily accessible. We believe that by addressing these fundamental human rights, we help our clients build a brighter future.
