Story

Community Family Centers/Centros Familiares de la Comunidad (CFC) is a non-profit organization that provides a wide range of bilingual services to help families address their basic needs as they move toward self-sufficiency and economic advancement. CFC furthers its mission of strengthening families and enriching lives by:

• Providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to excel and adults to learn
• Strengthening community partnerships

For more than 40 years, CFC has served low-income families within Houston’s impoverished Greater East End. From humble beginnings as a group of community volunteers working out of a church basement, CFC has grown into an agency with a $4.1 million annual operating budget, 85 staff members, and more than 500 volunteers, which serve over 40,000 clients a year
