Compendium of Care

"The caring professionals of Catholic Charities of Central Florida meet people in their time of need and offer them a customized program to move toward a more fulfilling and productive life."

Poverty & its effects in our Hometown

The effects of poverty and its prevalence account for numerous issues facing our community today. Research show that children from low-income families are at greater risk of poor and/or failing grades in school, inadequate health insurance coverage and even lack of primary health care. They are also more likely to engage in unhealthy behavior.

A Continuum of Care - A New Approach

Our vision includes providing a continuum of care in each county of the Diocese of Orlando, requiring a restructuring and reinvention of CCCF core services as SERVICE CENTERS and Communities of Excellence.

Most people would prefer a "one stop experience," and this is what is envisioned for the Service Centers.

A Compendium of Services

Building on existing family support and counseling programs, and add other new services to provide a broad range of support to the spectrum of needy, including housing, support programs and healthcare solutions from cradle to grave.

CCCF is Meeting the Need

CCCF is Meeting the Need of the most vulnerable of our Diocese providing women & children’s programs, affordable low income and transitional housing, affordable healthcare and health referral services.

“One trusted Service Center can address all needs, as opposed to having to conduct a new (perhaps scary, humiliating and depressing) search for assistance with each new hurdle they face.”
