Center for Urban Families is putting fathers back to work

Balitmore City’s most vulnerable citizens have been the hardest hit in this recession.

Throughout our city, there are men and women fighting against the tide of economic recession to work and provide for their families. The Center for Urban Families (CFUF) strengthens urban communities by helping fathers and families achieve stability and economic success, even in tough financial climates.

Central to CFUF’s mission is the belief that men—the most disconnected and underserved citizens in urban communities—who connect with women, their children, and the workplace are key to the restoration of stability and optimism.

With Father’s Day approaching, CFUF and GiveCorps are working together to ensure more men receive job readiness skills, financial literacy counseling, and career advancement services.  These programs, along with emergency funding for families in crisis, can push back the tide of the recession leading to successful families and a stronger Baltimore.

By donating now, you will help CFUF provide men, woman, and their families with the social and economic tools needed to become strong and thrive.

Your gift to CFUF can change the lives of your fellow Baltimoreans and put them on the path to dignity through work and self-sufficiency. Let’s make it happen.
