Our Mission

The mission of Catholic Charities of Tompkins/Tioga (CCTT) is to help build communities that care for all people by reducing poverty, promoting healthy individual and family life, collaborating with community agencies and faith communities, and advocating for social justice.

CCTT serves as a resource of last resort for low and moderate income families and individuals. We provide a coordinated network of human services dedicated to expediting assistance to the most vulnerable members of our community.

We are able to work with all people and are not restricted to a specific segment of the population. We help people of all faiths. Essential services are provided as part of a comprehensive approach to solving present problems and underlying barriers to self-sufficiency.
