Catholic Charities Counseling and Adoption Services (CCCAS) remains committed to providing vital support to those in need, including refugees seeking safety and a fresh start in our community. In a recent interview, CCCAS CEO Dawn Joy discussed the organization’s mission and the current state of refugee resettlement services.
“Our mission is to provide help and create hope for individuals and families facing challenges, whether through counseling, adoption services, or refugee resettlement,” Joy explained. “We are here to offer a welcoming hand to those arriving in Erie, helping them navigate housing, employment, education, and other essential services to ensure a successful transition.”
The need for refugee resettlement services continues to grow, and CCCAS plays a crucial role in assisting individuals fleeing conflict and persecution. With a compassionate and dedicated team, the organization helps new arrivals establish stable, independent lives.
“We are blessed to have a strong network of community partners and volunteers who support our efforts,” Joy added. “This work is only possible because of the generosity of our donors and the Erie community.”
