City Square (old name: Central Dallas Ministries)
The people of City Square don’t fight poverty for the poor—they fight poverty with the poor. Their 22-year commitment to addressing the root causes of poverty, both on an individual and systemic level, combined with their unyielding commitment to stewardship (over 90 cents of each dollar goes directly to services for those in need) makes CitySquare a proven leader in the community and beyond.
