Catholic Charities, Nueces County Community Action Agency and the Salvation Army all have programs for those who need assistance paying bills.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — If your bills are too high and you don’t know what to do, there are several agencies that might be able to help including Catholic Charities.

“We take the first ten callers on Monday morning at 7:30,” Emergency Aid Program Director Anita Rivera said. “The first ten callers and we ask them for their name and telephone number and then it’s just that simple.”

Rivera said their aid program has helped many each month.

“Unfortunately we have to tell a lot of them that we already took the first ten callers, but like all day long we do have calls coming in for financial assistance, so we know the need is great,” she said.
