Having formed in 1966 in response to the federal administration’s declaration of war on poverty, Community Services, Inc. (CSI) has been providing services to individuals, families, and the communities it serves for almost 60 years. Community Services, Inc. has strived to provide needed support with empathy and concern for those we serve and is committed to assisting clients to become self-reliant and alleviating the debilitating effects of poverty.

Community Services, Inc. offers clients and the community an array of services, including home-delivered meals for seniors and the disabled through the Meals on Wheels program and demand response transportation through Community Transit Service. In addition, through Community Services Block Grant programs, CSI also provides education support, employment support, and assistance with housing, utilities, food, and transportation costs.

As a community action agency, we have assisted thousands of individuals and families in achieving home stability, realizing educational dreams, and satisfying basic life needs. In 2020, Community Services, Inc. helped 1,789 individuals and 1,037 families with our combined programs and ancillary services. Services are offered in ten Texas counties through local Workforce Centers, the Serve Denton office, and CSI’s main office.

Mission Statement

The mission of Community Services, Inc. is to provide support services that empower and enrich individuals, families, and communities directly and through mutual collaborations with community partners leading to self-sufficiency.

Values:

• We believe that the support we provide genuinely benefits and assists the growth of individuals and the community.
• We believe in providing the best customer service possible to all our stakeholders.
• We believe in operating transparently and openly.
• We believe in fairness, ethical behavior, and fiscal responsibility.
• We believe positive work environments and team effort will result in outstanding achievements.

Vision

The people we serve have greater opportunities to succeed and transition beyond their current circumstances as they grow intellectually, emotionally, and physically. As a result, they have the ability to provide for themselves and their families with greater self-confidence, improved skills, and increased knowledge.

Our partners value our understanding of poverty and work with us to share resources and help recipients of our services achieve their goals.

Our communities grow more prosperous as those we serve become self-sufficient and better providers for their households.
