Serving Fort Worth since 1909, UCC’s mission has remained the same: Guided by Christian Principles, we serve and empower those in need. Today, UCC is focused on building bright futures for our community with knowledge, empowerment, & family strength at our centers in Polytechnic Heights, Diamond Hill-Jarvis, & Historic Southside neighborhoods (more than 90% of each neighborhood lives below the federal poverty average of $26,500 per family of four).
- In addition to safe, affordable care in a nurturing environment, 58% of Pre-K – 7th grade students that receive UCC’s individualized literacy instruction achieve on grade reading levels (compared to 45% state average). This is meaningful to long term success as those who don’t master reading skills by 3rd grade are six times more likely to not finish high school.
- UCC’s family workshops focus on financial literacy, workforce skills, job placement, and parent empowerment.
- UCC’s food pantries provide groceries to over 24,000 families annually who would otherwise go hungry in our own city.
