Catholic Community Services of Utah
By giving strength to the vulnerable, Catholic Community Services of Utah lovingly serves and provides hope to those with the greatest need in our community. We do so through two departments— Basic Needs and Migration & Refugee Services. Migration & Refugee Services assists recently arrived refugees, asylees, and immigrants in reaching self-sufficiency through three programs. Basic Needs provides nutritional support for those facing food and income insecurity in Ogden. Basic Needs also operates three programs in Salt Lake City to serve those facing homelessness.
Purpose
For more than 70 years Catholic Community Services of Utah (CCS) has been empowering people in need to reach self-sufficiency by providing essential services through eight distinctive programs along the Wasatch Front and throughout northern Utah. By giving strength to the weakest in our midst, CCS lovingly provides help and creates hope to those with the greatest need in our community, regardless of their race, religion, disability or other personal circumstances.
Vision
Our vision is for everyone in Utah to reach self-sufficiency, be fed and sheltered, fulfill their innate potential, and have their fundamental dignity and human worth recognized.
Mission
Our mission is to practice gospel values of love, compassion and hope through service, support and collaboration.
Additional Culture Details
Our culture revolves around supporting the fundamental dignity and personal growth of everyone in our community. CCS strongly believes that in order to capably and conscientiously help vulnerable populations, our own staff must themselves feel respected and trusted.
Values
- Recognition of Human Potential for Growth
- We value the untapped potential in both our clients and our own staff. We help vulnerable people develop their own skills and overcome obstacles so they can reclaim their self-sufficiency. At the same time, we prefer to promote from within and place people in new and challenging roles, ones they may not have previous experience with. We foster growth in both our clients and staff, helping them reach their personal potential.
