Northwest Campus

Providing services in Wichita Falls and surrounding areas, our Northwest Campus serves veterans, students, refugees, and more.

Since 1910, Catholic Charities Fort Worth has acted collaboratively to bring about real improvements in peoples’ quality of life and assist individuals based on need, regardless of religion affiliation, race or nationality. In 2014, it became evident that the need in Northwest Texas merited a local branch of Catholic Charities. Since that time, services at our Northwest Campus in Wichita Falls include clinical counseling referrals for mental health needs, strategic financial assistance for utilities, medical needs and other needs; case management for low-income individuals and families to empower them to achieve financial stability; veterans services including mental health counseling and housing; and Rural Vocation program which addresses the needs of college students and helps them overcome barriers to graduation, including hands on case management through a Client Navigator.

In 2020 to date, the Northwest Campus has:

Helped 372 students pursue their education through Rural Vocation
Engaged 85 clients in out-of-poverty solutions through Community Connections
Served 446 clients through Short Term Navigation and Referral Services
Empowered 22 clients to reach out-of-poverty
