Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas’
Port Arthur Activities to Benefit from United Way Funding
United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County has awarded a $43,000 grant to Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas that takes effect January 1, 2011 to help fund its Hospitality Center and Asset Building Case Management operations in Port Arthur during 2011.
The Hospitality Center, located at 3959 Gulfway Drive, has operated in Port Arthur for 23 years, providing a free, hearty meal to low-income residents of Port Arthur and surrounding communities every day of the year. Annually, the Center serves over 40,000 meals and a total of approximately 3,500 guests who come to the Center between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for a midday meal.
The Asset Building Case Management (ABC) program provides financial education and long-term case management services to low-to-moderate income members of the community. ABC was awarded funding by United Way to expand its Port Arthur presence through monthly financial education workshops on the third Thursday of each month and on-going weekly opportunities for financial case management appointments every Thursday.
These services will begin in mid-January and will be targeted principally to those who may be referred to Catholic Charities by other agencies trying to help clients establish greater self-sufficiency and lessen their dependence on the safety net of social services.
ABC has served more than 2,500 people during its three years of operation and has been successful in helping 40 families progress to home ownership.
Those wishing more information on the ABC services to be provided in Port Arthur may contact Catholic Charities at (409) 924-4424.
