Catholic Charities’ mission is to help the community’s most vulnerable with solutions that permanently improve lives. We are committed to serving people regardless of their race, ethnicity, economic status or religious affiliation. CCCS currently serves 23,000 persons annually in central and northern Arizona. The goal of all of our programs is to protect and nurture children, strengthen and reunify families, shelter the homeless and abused, welcome and assist refugees, aid those in crisis and help the impoverished. Our results-based solutions create and enhance opportunities for permanent solutions for veterans, sex-trafficking survivors, victims of domestic abuse, refugees and those experiencing homelessness. Services for children and family include foster care, adoption, pregnancy counseling, youth development and early childhood education—as well as Head Start and Early Head Start.
