CitySquare

CitySquare is one of the largest, most effective social services organizations in Texas, serving more than 40,000 unduplicated neighbors each year and branching out to serve the urban poor across Texas and in Denver, Colorado. Since its founding in 1988 as the Central Dallas Food Pantry, CitySquare has addressed the causes and effects of poverty by working with the people it serves.

CitySquare fights poverty through service, advocacy and friendship with 17 unique programs that address hunger, health, housing, and hope. The primary population of the organization’s programs and services are at-risk youth, working poor, and the homeless.

In 2014, CitySquare opened the Opportunity Center, a gateway of opportunity for underserved communities in south and east Dallas. The Opportunity Center is home to numerous essential services all in one easily accessed location for neighbors who are working to change the trajectory of their lives.

CitySquare is a community of neighbors standing for justice and equality for all and is a place where work flows out of its ecumenical and inclusive faith. CitySquare is a steward that believes its resources belong to the community.
