During these difficult economic times, the Santa Barbara Region of Catholic Charities is committed to helping those who are struggling. With the support of dedicated community members and volunteers, the Region has developed a wide range of services that cater to families and individuals in need.
The Region’s well known Thrifty Shopper stores in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria represent a community effort to help. Donations from the public provide clients with free clothing and household goods while revenue from sales help support the agency’s programs and services.
As the largest non-profit distributor of food in Santa Barbara County, Catholic Charities delivered over 1.3 million pounds of food during 2008.
