Catholic Charities of Central Florida

What Catholic Charities of Central Florida does

Catholic Charities of Central Florida (CCCF) is a private, non-profit charitable organization founded in 1962 and operating as a ministry of the Diocese of Orlando. Headquartered at 1819 N Semoran Blvd in Orlando, FL, the organization runs 21 service locations across at least seven Central Florida counties (Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Polk, Volusia, and broader Central Florida), supported by 101-250 paid employees and over 2,000 volunteers. Its mission is to deliver a coordinated social safety net — food assistance, free medical and dental care, behavioral health, refugee resettlement, immigration legal services, housing and homelessness prevention, and pro-life pastoral programs — to low-income individuals, refugees, immigrants, and uninsured households. Quantified impact for the most recent fiscal year includes 3 million pounds of food distributed and 56,000+ households served (July 2023 – June 2024), 2,320 immigration clients served, and 175 individuals naturalized as U.S. citizens.

CCCF's service portfolio is delivered through distinct sub-brands and clinics: Agape Mission Markets (food pantries and mobile distribution), the Family Stability Program and Pathways to New Hope (housing/homelessness prevention), Medical & Dental Clinics (St. Luke's, Lazarus Medical/Dental, La Guadalupana, St. Thomas Aquinas), Behavioral Health Services, Immigration Legal Services, Comprehensive Refugee Services, Culture of Life (Project Rachel, Rachel's Vineyard, advocacy), and Pathways to Care (medical-respite assisted living for the homeless). The St. Gabriel Call Center processes approximately 150 assistance calls per day. The underlying technology stack is not proprietary; service delivery relies on case-management workflows, a volunteer network, and partnerships with Second Harvest Food Bank, Jewish Family Services of Greater Orlando, Orange Technical College, and Knights of Columbus.

CCCF is funded through a diversified non-profit revenue mix: individual and corporate donations, foundation and institutional grants (including The Catholic Foundation of Central Florida's Mercy Fund), and federal/state government contracts for refugee resettlement. Core social services are provided free of charge; immigration legal services are offered at reduced rates. The organization is governed under the Diocese of Orlando, with Bishop John Noonan presiding and Gary Tester serving as President.
