Livingston County Catholic Charities

What Livingston County Catholic Charities does

Livingston County Catholic Charities (LCCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit human services agency founded in 1985 and headquartered in Howell, Michigan, serving residents of Livingston County regardless of religious preference, national origin, sex, age, disability, or financial circumstance. LCCC operates an integrated portfolio of programs spanning mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and prevention, senior services (Community Liaison Program, Volunteer Caregiver Program, Home Injury Control/Chore, and Be Our Guest Adult Day Service), Special Ministries for adults with cognitive and physical disabilities, parish ministry including Walking with Moms in Need and Project Rachel, and elder-abuse prevention. The organization has held Council on Accreditation national accreditation since 1997 and is affiliated with the Diocese of Lansing and eight Catholic parishes across the county.

LCCC's service delivery model is direct and community-anchored: clinical and program staff operate out of a single facility (relocated in 2025 to a newly acquired, debt-free building at 2895 W. Grand River Ave.), supplemented by home visits, volunteer transportation, and parish-based programming. The technology stack is described as standard nonprofit case management with no proprietary platform; marketing and donor engagement rely on a website (livingstoncc.org), Facebook/LinkedIn/Instagram presence, Constant Contact newsletters, and the DonorPerfect online giving platform.

The business model is a hybrid non-profit revenue stack combining donations and annual fundraising events (e.g., Salute to the Stars gala, Elder Abuse Awareness 5K, Christmas Blessing Project), foundation grants (Pulte Family Foundation, Raskob Foundation, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Legacy Fund, Parker Foundation), government grants, planned giving and an endowment administered by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, an ongoing Light the Way Capital Campaign, and fee-for-service revenue from sliding-scale client payments plus insurance reimbursement. With 22 staff, LCCC serves 5,000+ individuals annually and directs approximately 93% of every donated dollar to client services.
