Citizens for Citizens, Inc. (CFC) is a Community Action Agency based in Fall River, Massachusetts, with a mission to advocate for low-income residents and address the causes and effects of poverty through direct and integrated services. Founded in 1965 under the Economic Opportunity Act, the organization serves a broad portion of Bristol County and supports more than 34,000 clients with programs that include energy assistance, weatherization, early childhood education, family planning, and food distribution. As part of the Individual and Family Services sector, CFC operates by coordinating multiple service lines to help individuals and families improve self-sufficiency and navigate poverty-related challenges. The agency draws on diverse funding sources, including government and community-based grants, to deliver its programs and services. A notable recent development involves a collaboration with United Way of Greater Newark to provide free tax assistance through a VITA program, expanding access to essential resources for low- to moderate-income residents.
