Catholic Charities Fort Worth- Northwest Campus

About Us

At Catholic Charities Fort Worth, we relentlessly end poverty through holistic, research-based solutions. Founded in 1910, CCFW serves tens of thousands of people in North Texas, and across the nation, each year.

The beginning of our more than 100-year history was simple. A small group of women went to St. Patrick Cathedral in downtown Fort Worth to petition then-Bishop Edward J. Dunne to begin a “work of mercy.” They wanted to help the poor and vulnerable in their community, in any way they could. Sometimes that meant only being able to offer families a dollar or two. It wasn’t much, but it enabled families to put food on their tables and hope in their hearts.

From these humble beginnings, we’ve evolved into the research-backed, poverty-ending powerhouse we are today.

Through our five Out of Poverty Pathways, we’ve helped more than 20,000 of our friends and neighbors in need leave poverty behind, for good.
