West Side Catholic Shelter For Women

Established in 1977, the founders of the West Side Catholic Center were struck by the plight of their neighbors who lacked food, shelter, clothing and companionship. The core of our mission is the provision of basic needs: food, clothing and shelter, but we also provide programming that encourages clients to become self-sufficient.  Our programs respond to the needs of men, women, and children in Cuyahoga County regardless of their religious affiliation.  We have over 500 volunteers and 4,400 donors.  All programs run on a calendar year and are evaluated annually.   Our Programs respond to the needs of men, women, and children in Cleveland, regardless of their religious affiliation, and WSCC has no geographical limits on its service area. All services are provided free of charge.
