EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Diocese of Evansville celebrated a fresh visual identity for Catholic Charities on Saturday, inviting community members to an open house that highlighted a new logo and a redesigned website.
Executive Director Denise Seibert explained that the branding overhaul is intended to make it easier for people to locate services online and to learn how they can support the organization through donations or volunteer work. “Today marked just some changes in how we look online, our presence and branding, but it doesn’t change who we are,” Seibert said. “We remain committed to serving our community through a variety of services, but all of those services help to move people forward, provide them hope and provide them greater stability, especially during challenging times.”
Expanded Services Highlighted
During the open house, staff members walked attendees through the organization’s core programs, which include poverty‑reduction initiatives, job‑training and placement assistance, and mental‑health counseling. The new website features a streamlined navigation menu, searchable directories of local resources, and clear calls to action for those seeking help or wishing to contribute.
“Our goal is to reduce barriers for anyone in need,” said Seibert. “A modern, user‑friendly site means families can find food assistance, housing referrals, or counseling services with just a few clicks.”
Community Response
Local residents expressed enthusiasm for the updates, noting that a stronger online presence will help connect more families to vital resources. Volunteer coordinator Mark Thompson said the organization hopes the new branding will attract additional supporters and broaden its outreach.
“We’ve seen a growing demand for our programs, especially as the economy remains uncertain,” Thompson added. “A clear, recognizable brand helps us tell our story and invites more people to join our mission.”
Looking Ahead
Catholic Charities plans to continue expanding its digital tools, including the rollout of a mobile app later this year that will allow users to receive real‑time alerts about emergency assistance and community events. The organization also announced upcoming workshops on financial literacy and parenting support, underscoring its commitment to holistic, faith‑based service.
Seibert concluded, “Our faith calls us to love our neighbors, and these upgrades are simply a means to better fulfill that calling.” The open house concluded with a brief prayer and a reception for attendees.
