History:
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen, incorporated in 1982, is a non-profit agency dedicated to service, quality and outreach for members of the community, especially those who are poor, devalued or in need of help. The agency, which evolved from the Catholic Welfare Bureau of Trenton founded in 1913, provides programs to the four counties of the Diocese of Metuchen with selected services that reach throughout the state of New Jersey.

Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen, began with seven sites that offered nine programs. In twenty years, it has grown to include 32 sites and over 140 programs. This expansion is the direct result of the agency's aim to provide service to all those in need regardless of race, religion or ethnicity. To fulfill this commitment, agency administration has consistently created new, innovative programming that would serve to extend the work of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen.

In its effort to provide the highest levels of service to all its clients, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen, uses the principles of quality, creativity, respect and empowerment as the guiding forces behind the agency's mission. When reaching out to those in the community needing service, particular attention is given to the poor, undervalued or disenfranchised. Administration and staff design programs that focus on the value of family, individual knowledge and the right of every client to be treated with dignity and respect.

Through its work, the agency reaches out to men, women and children who might otherwise be ignored or passed over by the frantic pace of the modern world. Through faith, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen, works to inspire those who seek help, and through hope, it strives to empower those who were once helpless to succeed.
