I believe in almost everything they do for the homeless and the poor! My only issue is they help those who can help themselves which takes away from those who need the help most of all! To many grown men who have the ability to work but choose not to because they can always get a hand at Catholic Charities. The bible says if a man doesnt work he doesnt eat! Just an old Catholic mans opinion.

So the last two weeks I’ve been trying to get help from the Catholic charities for an extended stay program Raye who is apparently in charge of that will leave you voicemails but won’t answer her own voicemails won’t let you know what’s going on she reaches out once or twice and then she takes you off of the extended stay program because she can’t get “ahold of you” i call to ask about it and am told that this process can talk up to two weeks and then the next time I call I’m told that I’ve been taken off the extended stay program even tho I have left a voice mail two days after she tried mainly cause I didn’t have access to my voicemail. But she should not be working with people who are struggling with homelessness and mental health.

Im a single Male that recently became homeless, will I be able to stay overnight until I find residency? Currently staying in my car..

Do you guys help young families who are homeless find places? My fiancé, daughter, and our pups became homeless recently and my fiancé has a job as an assistant manager so I’m stuck watching them without a way to get a job, is there anything you can help us with finding housing? We’re really stressed out and we’ve been praying for a solution

They are awesome they saved my life from homeless

The Staff are very Helpful and Caring. It is obvious tbe new Director knows the right direction to proceed. They are genuinely on a mission to help all they can.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

A good place to sleep but food served is not fresh and is saved up to 3 to 4 days and is used again. No showers available to the females when its the only shelter for females. They even lie and steal from you sometimes. Even petty little things like charging cords and clothes then are later found in their donations bin. Staff ban people for small things giving people 4-15 day bans. Overflow people never get heard on problems.

A really good program for those in need.

Love this place they help so many people get on there feet The staff is awesome

My only purpose was to ask for food from the food pantry because Im diabetic and was in need. The lady got up from her desk, motioned to several FULL shelves of food, and says to me This food is accounted for. All of it. We have hours of operation and you missed them. The rescue mission Will serve dinner in three hours. Theres no food or hydration for you. If youre seeking a bed in our shelter, come back at 9pm. If youre too early, we will ask you to leave. If your late, you didnt want one. She walked back to get desk and began to eat popcorn and smile at me.

This company has the biggest heart I have ever seen. Thank you Joe and Lorna for all of your help. God bless.

They have helped me a lot I really appreciate it

This place is great! An they are helping every one in so many different ways in this time of need! Thank yall so much!

This place and their huge hearts . Understanding loving and helpfully humane. I was new in town and living in my car and also needed a shower. They were willing to help and go above and beyond. You dont have to be catholic! I just happened to grow uo in catholic school and look how that came full circle. God works in mysterious ways. Come to this place for human touch.

The policy on showers is criminal. In no other place, at no other time, could you get away with denying people access to facilities ALREADY PRESENT in order to clean themselves. AND IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, with a rampaging virus, it makes of every effort you take to encourage social distancing, to promote hand-washing, an absolute farce.

I would give them no stars if possible. They promise help on their outdoor signs and turn people away suggesting law enforcement instead of helping their own people. Im still shaking my head AND my finger..shame on you guys! Judgemental. Not doing Gods work AT ALL.

Respectful with a hand up in their work program.all employees their treat every body that either r in the program or looking for assistant with dignity and respect. Their kindness is appreciated. Blessing to all.live,love,respect. Thank you.✌️🤟

Glad that youre here but definitely need for improvement. Students are very dismissive and cold towards clients and lack the ability to make proper judgment regarding disability which can lead to maltreatment and endangerment of clients who are asked to leave in dangerous weather conditions especially with small children at 5 to 6 in the morning

Very helpful organization, they helped cover my familys city bill since I lost my job.

I walked across town to eat here after being sick- I had not eaten in 2 days because of it. It was 93 degrees out and the walk had left me dehydrated and beat- and I looked it. My dog isnt great with other dogs so I asked if I could eat outside so I could be with him. They told me if I found someone to watch my dog I could eat I told them I didnt know anyone I could trust with my pup, they told me too badIts clear that these people care more about rules than actually feeding someone in need.The sad fact is this is common with services that obtain millions in donations in communities, yet use it to relish in megalomania and bureaucracy instead of offering any wiggle room for those that cant fit in with the exact order they impose.Then when the people they deny are suffering they say well that was their choice not to do as we saidSounds like Catholics to me

They do what they can with what theyve got. They have incredible volunteers. They feed and shelter us when we lose our sometimes tenuous grasp on our fortunes. Once, when I was cold, a young volunteer literally gave me the shirt off his back...it changed my life. They help change lives, if youre ready for it.

Volunteered here for two days. The staff here is amazing! They really try to make a difference in the lives of everyone who walks through the door in need. Truly inspiring.

I’ve been going here a few months now and some things are really off about this place. Some staff/volunteers eat before the needy. I do like that they have a chore list for people to sign up for if they want to help and get a second helping of food but being that it’s a charity all chores must be signed up before they allow people in to eat. Not a great way to help people out when they are hungry! Food sucks and not a thought goes into if people have teeth and can’t eat anything hardShould be 0 stars.Look at reviews as of this post 90 with 19 of them being a 1 star that’s almost 25%. someone higher up in the program needs to open their eyes and earsCassAn’s review hit it on the head

Excellent staff. They are doing the best they can given the resources. This is a GREAT place to do some volunteer work. They always need socks and toiletries so make a donation already

I work here all the services we provide are just amazing

Catholic Charities is one of the most giving places that I know of in Fort Collins they help the homeless provide shelter food and assistance anyway they can great place

Two previous reviewers described this place pretty accurately. The people who work here dont care. Theyre hypocrites. They look for excuses to kick people out before they get back on their feet, kids or no. The food is barely edible. The bathrooms are disgusting due to lack of adequate cleaning supplies. Its a place to go if you really need it. Seriously, though, just pitch a tent somewhere. Youll be better off.Oh, and dont forget the bed bug infestations that they dont do jack about. Lovely.

I went there to donate my used items and have been for a long time. The main they give the community is hope. The staff is friendly, courteous and helpful to the homeless, downtrodden, vulnerable and poor. They offer a helping hand to people in a very positive manner. We shamefully forget it could happen to anyone.

They are certainly good at what they do. If I were you, I would support them to take care of and help the homeless population.

God Bless them.

Was told to be off the property, along with several homeless people and all i was doing waiting for a friend and,helping out 2 couples with a kid and a pregnant woman with a jug of water, while we all sat in the shade to cool off while it was noon and 100 degrees out that day, to be honest i was a shame of this place due to their actions, and the way they shooed us off god wouldnt abandon the ones who really need help

Because, music doesnt just happen, its no ranDCom test of fate,.. though yes its fun to listen & waite, but thats just entertaimment. Musics that brave faith to move, create wave,.. yes, to dance, right there in in between the symphony by chance, to be alone all day, even in meetings, stores, at the table, yet not now, this mysic, oh waite, who, huh?!? therere more

Please love the Catholic Charities Mission Shelter...the non-profit organization that works within this small building has a very small professional staff. They are all dedicated and compassionate to the guests they serve. They rely on MANY volunteers everyday and are very patient to greet them and explain duties needed to be carried out: managing the upkeep of the facility, preparation of the daily lunch thats open to anyone whos hungry (they serve 100+ people, 7 days a week!). Yes, after reading other posts I will say it takes some effort on the part of a homeless individual or family to obtain an assigned bed. Every night there are overflow beds open to those that come looking for a nights shelter...more people than there are beds, so not all are able to find a spot. And, yes, you must exit the property at an early hour..its not a hotel. But there are valuable resources to be mined by all guests...and those that wish to apply themselves to the resident program are able to learn info and gain skills that will bring them closer to not being homeless. Volunteer your hands in the morning if youre able...help a team prepare lunch (ex.; chopping veggies, stirring a pot on the stove, rinsing utensils, or wiping off the dining tables, etc.) and you will meet other volunteers and have a very rewarding experience.

Excellent place to get services. It can be difficult to get a hold on anyone on the phobe though. They also need to update the available services on the website. They no longer assist in getting your birth certificate for example.

I been very blessed to have places like this, I was at Samaritan House until four months my time was up I put up with there rules and some ppl who came into the shelter werent very nice but that old saying help yourself and those will help you ppl arent going to take care of you for rest of your life. Im just glad that are places like this I never slept on a cold concrete sidewalk and I will not ever put myself in that situation. Thank you Catholic Charities for all your help and support.

This is a great Place when you are in true need. The staff does their all to help you get back on your feet and rebuild your life.

They Call themselves Catholic but keep people outside until 10:30pm and kick them out before sunrise. They say they help people get back on there feet but if you Work at night, YOU WONT HAVE A PLACE TO SLEEP!! They make children NO matter how old, Leave everyday NO MATTER the weather, even when -10 degrees... Please be advised that they dont care here, and have even seen them turn away very elderly people and women and children regardless... They do have there fav. people that are homeless..

Lifesavers! Laurie definitely saved mine. Thanks!

Nice place for a shelter but there is however a lottery to get in, be there by 6 pm for it unless youre female.

Its lunch and a roof! Im happy for that but to be honest some of the staff act like they are saints and should be worshipped and can just do what they want. Some are amazing thats right im talking to you..... pastrami samitch!!!! But I should at least feel like they want to be there more then the homeless do.....Your getting paid for it!!!!!!!!!

I went here to get help paying my utilities bill after our electric was turned off. The purple that helped me were incredibly caring and kind, and explained the entire process so well that I had no need to ask any questions. They got my family approved for assistance in no time at all, and I was just completely amazed and thankful for all they did for us. Im disabled, and my husband and I have a child, so having the electric shut off (meaning no air conditioning) in the brutal heat of summer was devastating. My husband had lost his job, and things were just horrible. So to have them not only help us in our time of need, but also being so caring and wonderful was a true godsend. They even let me know about their other services, and asked me questions so that they could offer any helpful advice they had for our situation. I dont know where wed be without them.

Id recommend Catholic Charities to any one that may need a place to stay if they become homeless and end up in Ft. Collins So have a great day and God Bless.

When I had no where to go for Thanksgiving I got A Great Meal here Twice the food was the best that I had eaten for Thanksgiving in yrs,Im a disabled Veteran and Greatly Appriciated it,Thanks! Hopefully I will get a meal this year,ive missed the last 5yrs

Always help charities regardless of their Dogma! These people help alot of people. However. This particular Catholic Charities is not great. Its run by very mean very judging very discriminative people. It is also the first and last emergency option. Knowing this I think its exploited. For some reason they do anoottery for the homeless here. A kind of pick your fate thing but wont let anyone draw for the lottery until 10 pm. And this is after theyve already filled several beds up with people who have promised to work for their stay around 5pm. The food is unregulated and often people get food poisoning from it. No seconds are allowed unless your willing to work. And infact no meals are allowed unless they can find twenty or more volunteers teers to work. Yet they are fully staffed they have and entire crew and volunteers from the community that come in and help they have project funding they have funds from the community they have hedge funding they have funding from the government and funding from the Catholic Church. Yet they dont have enough help? The people they are working are little more then children and seniors and people with conditions that vary from alcoholism to arthritis to gout and diabetes and more none of those that work are ever asked for more information or if they are physically able often people are designated jobs at random when no one will sign up often all this accompanied by harrassment from staff yelling and coercing from all sides. I think thats wrong. I think its wrong to exploit people knowing they have to eat and sleep a d have nowhere to go. They have no room yet have more then enough funding to build more room. There is an empty field across from them that can be given to them for such a purpose. Along time ago Catholic charities acted as a year round drop in center they claim to be still but its not true. Go and hang out there for a couple days randomly without telling them your coming anyone from the community. I promise youll see what Ive mentioned and more. Everytime me or anyone trys to do a review they delete our reviews also its all very hush hush. Im not even homeless but I do find it a personal mission to make sure that everyone has love and light in their lives and that their lives are fair and meaningful. I appreciate the notions and the reasons that these people are there but I dont believe they are truly doing what they have been called to do and I believe that do so some major changes must first place take place within them as an entity

The staff does the best they can do with what they have. They have the willingness to listen and to try and help those in need.

This is a womens only shelter but theres always a bed available.

Very kind and helpful people. Had my first appointment with my lawyer, they seemed to know who I was when I came through the front door, although I had never been there for any reason.

Comfort,love,& TRUST. THE VERY THIMGS THAT MAKE THE WHOLE WORKING WORLD GO ROUND

Ask us about the private life of a certain volunteer. Hypocrite...most are. The John Smith review is absolutely the mindset of what you will deal with if you are fortunately unfortunate to deal with this lot of sick, sad nazis. still, if you absolutely need overnight shelter, suppose this is your best bet..actually, a hospital - make something up. or a dry drainage tunnel near a dumpster would be better. good luck.

There truly angels that work there I believe that

Last resort for shelter. But its better than the elements....

Used to volunteer here and it was fun to feed the homeless and meet new people every time we went.

Truly a place where people can share in the love of God for the poor and those going through hardship in their lives. The staff are great people to work with.

Its the best place to go hang out with friends

Very friendly staff and very resourceful for people going through a rough patch in their life.

It is like a blast there are to many cool people and my mom lives there

I thank God for this organization. They have pulled me out of my pit and I thank you

Donate here, they give to those in need for free. Thrift stores are out to make a profit more than just help people.

Friendly staff, good place to restart your life

Living arrangements are some what ok, but doable at times

Ask for a drink of water and see what you get on a cold raining night they tell you get out of the building your not supposed to be in here. good job Catholic hypocrites Id give you no stars for that and vengence is mine saith the Lord you people need a new Bible because you are not reading the same one I am

Ashamed to say there associated with our God.Very dissapointed maybe ok if your completely homeless but if your on the verge of homelessness with children they give no help or answers its like were an aggravation my bad thought that is what tgis place was for.The devil just keeps you down as much as he can when you walk with Jesus so hard not to give up.

It was okay! They have major problems with bed bugs!!!

This place only caters to familys and women

Safe place to stay while in transistion.

They are the best, n thank u Ashley

Great people doing great things

Big help to your world, when youre hungry and /down & out. Thank you Sister ✌

Top notch service for those in need.

They say they are changing lives of the homeless when all they are doing is making their lives worse. They are here to make a profit off of the homeless.

Not enough for what people need didnt say deserve.

Helps there for you

Its a safe place to stay away from the cold and police

THIS PLACE HAS A HUGE BED BUG PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TOO

I permanently got kicked out just for sitting on the curb

Staff are very controlling and not fair. They are very unfriendly

Shelter dont know, should be 1st come, first served, not lucky lotto??

Great program

Kind and compassionate, clean and safe!

Cares but dont

Helped us out big time

If you have no home it is a safe place to stay for a while.

They talk the talk but they dont walk the walk.

Worst place to try and better yourself, please look for other options

Nice people.

Good community support

This place is getting things done!

Its ok.

I like speaking with with the staff and residents.

They help all they can

Hard to get a bed at night.

Just dont associate yourself with the people

Very helpful

Aholes to the max

Need a new director and staff

Refuge for the homeless

Full bedbugs & favoritism

Never going back

Helped me.
