Northside Inter-Community Agency, Inc.About Us
Mission Statement
The mission of NICA is to prevent poverty by helping people in need help themselves and their neighbors.
Core Values
People have the capacity to change, and to exert control over their lives. People can function in the community when provided varying degrees of support, and should be encouraged to function as independently as possible. People should play active roles in the helping process. The helping system must be flexible as people's needs and strengths are unique, wide ranging, and vary over time.
Core Purpose
To provide a means through which persons, churches and agencies on the north side of Fort Worth can join together to share ministries, program personnel and facilities in order to be of service to the community. To mobilize and coordinate the use of resources of the community at large and other such sources as may be available. To promote social welfare and combat community deterioration in low-income areas of Tarrant County by providing low-income persons with self help programs to improve the quality of their economic and social participation in community life in such a way as to contribute to the elimination of poverty.
What NICA Does
The agency provides food, clothing, and self-help programs to families on the Northside of Fort Worth and surrounding communities. Our vision includes the whole family: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects. The most pressing needs are met through our direct aid programs. Providing a hand-up, not just a handout, longer-term goals are met through case management, crisis counseling, and employment, education and community services. Our aim is to aid and empower to provide or link people to opportunities to get back on their feet, to strengthen their families, and ultimately to strengthen their neighborhoods.
