CCCS now encompasses more than 20 programs providing result-based solutions which serve the poor and vulnerable in central and northern Arizona.

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.
