With a deep history in Solano County, the non-profit organization Catholic Charities of Yolo-Solano County collaborates with diverse communities to provide services to underprivileged and poor individuals and families. With an array of services, they aid in food disparities, housing needs, immigration assistance, wellness services, mental health support, and re-entry help for former prisoners.

One of their largest programs, the food assistance programs consist of an emergency food pantry service, assistance with CalFresh applications, and nutrition education classes.

In addition, wellness services are offered that include counseling, a free positive parenting program for ages 0-5 supported by First Five, and a friendship service that consists of virtual check-ins.

Re-entry in society can be difficult for individuals who have spent a lengthy time in prison, but The Catholic Charities Prop 47 Success Network (CCPSN) offers an avenue for faith-based support from pastors

In collaboration with Season of Sharing, an agency that helps with one-time rental deposits, CCYOSO offers rental assistance. However, this collaboration and program is on hiatus until further notice. Catholic Charities also offers a large selection of immigration services; These programs consist of legal assistance, educational workshops, and aid for domestic abuse victims.

CCYOSO is located at 125 Corporate Place, Suite A. Vallejo, Calif. 94590. Their hours are from Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and are closed for lunch from 12:00 p.m. until 1:00 p.m.
