About Us

For more than 80 years, the Community Council of GreaterDallas (CCGD) has been a driving force for change in Dallas County. Our mission is to provide leadership in moving individuals and families from surviving to thriving. We improve quality of life by alleviating poverty, fostering independence and wellness and connecting people to the resources they need.

We believe that every person deserves access to resources that build stability and open doors to opportunity. That's why we deliver programs that make a real difference - services for older adults, struggling families and individuals needing a hand up. Those services include: health, nutrition, housing, and financial wellness - while connecting thousands of residents to critical services through 211, the region's trusted information and referral network.
