Catholic Charities Fort Worth (CCFW) is a learning organization that believes every person should have the opportunity to live their best life, free from poverty. Founded in 1910, CCFW works every day to make this vision a reality, serving tens of thousands of people in North Texas, and across the nation, each year. CCFW is rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and reflects these values through our client-centered approach and commitment to ensuring our practices meaningfully impact the lives of those we serve. We strategically challenge the way poverty is addressed nationwide by creating solutions to meet the evolving needs of our community, eradicating the barriers keeping people in poverty, and transforming the narrative around poverty through advocacy and collaboration.

At Catholic Charities Fort Worth, we invest in individual journeys. Each person's experience with poverty is different, and so is their definition of success. That's why we provide individualized support that honors each client's human dignity and gives them the opportunity to define the path forward. We meet each client where they are, and determine how we can partner with them toward their goals. Our five key areas of impact are: Financial Resiliency, Education Credentials, Employment, Resource Stability, and Emotional Resiliency. Based on research, these Pathways help us more clearly identify OUR role in the larger system of poverty and allow us to help our clients at all points of their individual journey.
