In 1912, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City (CCOKC) opened our doors and our hearts to helping the people of Oklahoma. In the years since, CCOKC has grown from a small orphanage in northwest Oklahoma City into a multi-faceted service organization with 14 programs and five locations serving 19,000 annually throughout the western two-thirds of the state. CCOKC does not try to be all things to all people – we attempt to serve where others are not, and to partner effectively with service agencies across the communities in which we serve. 

Throughout its history, CCOKC has been deeply rooted in Oklahoma communities, kindling hope and supporting Oklahomans in times of need.

     • The Great Depression: Our young organization expanded to deliver a safe home to orphaned and abandoned Oklahoma children in the 1930s.
     • Wartime Migration: CCOKC provided a helping hand and a resettlement plan to refugees arriving from south Asia in the 1960s and 1970s.
     • Oklahoma City Bombing--When tragedy struck the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, CCOKC was there, offering counseling and long-term case management to those affected.
     • May 1999 and May 2013 Tornadoes--On two fateful spring days almost 15 years apart, two of the nation’s largest tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma, and CCOKC’s Disaster Relief program quickly provided essential services and a road map to recovery for thousands of families.

Today, the major programs of CCOKC include Family HOPE case management; emergency rent and utility assistance; Sanctuary Women's Development Centers and Holy Family Home for homeless women and children; immigration legal services; refugee resettlement; counseling; sponsored housing services for families and seniors; disaster response; adoption and pregnancy services; support and development of educational outreach programs; and advocacy. CCOKC operates offices in Clinton, Enid, Guymon, Lawton, Oklahoma City and in 2015 Ardmore.
