About this category

What are human services charities?

Human services charities are registered nonprofit organizations that provide direct, practical support to people in need: from food banks and homeless charities to employment programs and practical crisis help. On GiveRadar they form the human services category, one of 16 shared categories applied across every country we cover. Medical care belongs to the separate health category, and welfare-oriented counseling and family support sit in the neighboring social services category; in practice the categories overlap, and browsing both is often worth it.

What they do

What do human services organizations do?

Human services organizations meet basic needs and help people through crisis and hardship. Typical work includes:

  • Running food banks, meal programs, and other hunger relief
  • Homeless shelters, housing support, and eviction prevention
  • Emergency financial assistance and help navigating benefits
  • Clothing, household essentials, and practical help for daily living
  • Employment training and job placement for people facing barriers to work
  • Services for veterans, older people, and people with disabilities
