"Building Hope"
Do you hear their cries?
Last year, Catholic Charities provided hope
for 1 in 16 people in Tarrant County
Abused and neglected children
Frightened refugees
Desperate families
But thousands of cries for help were left unanswered
because we lacked the resources to serve them
"Building Hope"
is a capital campaign that will help Catholic Charities
meet the ever growing need in our community

BUILDING HOPE FACTS
Over the past five years, Catholic Charities' services have increased by 130-percent, and current facilities can no longer meet the challenge.
Building Hope is a capital campaign to raise 13.6 million dollars by June 30th, for the construction and endowment of an exciting new Catholic Charities facility in Tarrant County.
This new 70-thousand square foot facility will combine the services of three separate Catholic Charities locations and more than double the organization's current capacity.
The new building will also provide easy access to public transportation and other important government services. It will allow Catholic Charities to save $1.3 million over 5 years by combining locations, it will allow the organization to be more accessible and accommodating to the community, and it will leave room to grow to meet future community needs.
The Fort Worth Catholic Diocese has generously donated four acres of land in southeast Fort Worth and donated one million dollars to the Building Hope campaign. With the help of the diocese and other generous donors, Catholic Charities has currently raised $9.3 million.
If Catholic Charities can raise an additional $4.3 million by June 30th, the Mabee Foundation of Tulsa will contribute the final $1 million toward the total campaign goal of $13.6 million (Note: The Mabee Foundation pledge is considered part of the $9.3 million raised.)
The Catholic Charities vision is to be people of faith serving all people in need.
Catholic Charities is one of the largest social service agencies in Tarrant County. In 2007, the organization served the needs of 112,000 people in 28 area counties. In Tarrant County alone, Catholic Charities serves 1 in 16 residents.
