JEDI - Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Our work to Feed the Hungry, Heal the Hurting, and Welcome the Stranger is deeply rooted in and guided by our core values of Respect, Compassion, Collaboration, and Justice. Our commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) is not just a statement; it is an integral part of who we are and what we stand for. Grounded in the belief that every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, deserves to be treated with dignity, we serve all – and all means all.

Justice

At Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, we strive to address the root causes of injustice and inequality in our community. Through our various programs and initiatives, we advocate for systemic change and work to empower individuals and families to overcome barriers to success.

Equity

We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to the resources and support they need to thrive. Whether it's providing affordable housing, access to healthcare, or assistance with basic needs, we are dedicated to creating a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Diversity

We celebrate the rich diversity of our community and recognize the unique contributions that each individual brings. We believe that diversity strengthens our agency and enriches our work, allowing us to better serve the needs of every person seeking help.

Inclusion

We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and respected. We actively seek out diverse perspectives and voices, and we are committed to fostering a culture of belonging where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

We recognize that this work and commitment to JEDI is ongoing and that we must continually strive to do better. Join us as we work together to build a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive community for all.
