What Christian Community Action does

Christian Community Action (CCA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 200 S. Mill Street, Lewisville, Texas, that provides comprehensive human services to low-income individuals and families across Denton, Collin, Dallas, and Tarrant counties. Founded in 1973 as a Bible study group of seven to eight people, CCA now operates with 30 paid employees supported by 5,500–5,600 volunteers and serves over 12,000 individuals and families annually, distributing more than 10,000 meals per day to 800+ families weekly.

CCA delivers its services through a multi-program portfolio: a client-choice Food Market (pantry staples, fresh produce, hygiene items); Seeds for Success (case-managed long-term financial assistance requiring coaching participation); Education & Empowerment Services (ESL, computer training, financial literacy, job readiness, first-time homebuyer, entrepreneurship); Children's Programs (Kids Eat Free summer meal delivery, Back to School supplies/clothing via Old Navy, Christmas Cheer gifts); Senior Services (transportation vouchers, crisis support, food delivery); and Spiritual Care & Professional Counseling. All services are provided free of charge to qualifying residents.

The organization is funded through diversified nonprofit revenue streams: individual donations (including a tiered Good Samaritan monthly giving program priced $11–$250/month), corporate and church partnerships, event fundraising (Hopeful Hearts 5K, 50th Anniversary Gala), planned giving (bequests, endowments), and a resale-store partnership with Donate 2 Impact. Food inventory is sourced via Tarrant Area Food Bank and Forgotten to Feed. CCA holds ECFA accreditation, a Charity Navigator four-star rating, and four consecutive years (2021–2024) of Best Christian Workplace certification. The organization is led by President and CEO Gilbert Montez with a leadership team of three directors (Programs, Operations, Development), a Controller, and an Executive Assistant. No proprietary technology platform underlies service delivery; the operating stack consists of WordPress, Constant Contact, and Harness Giving.
