Catholic Family Center
Catholic Family Center is Rochester's largest family service provider, helping
nearly 63,000 people each year achieve independence with dignity. Unlike
most local human service agencies that perform a few services for one or
two populations, CFC is a comprehensive agency that houses nine major service
areas for people of all ages, races, religions and socioeconomic circumstances.
In all, CFC has 60 programs within its nine service departments, available
to the community at 17 locations throughout Monroe and Wayne Counties.
