Who WE ARE
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving youth, single parent families and veterans struggling with poverty and homelessness in, and around Tarrant County, Texas.
Beyond serving immediate needs, we seek to equip and empower those we serve to restore hope, dignity and self worth as they work to achieve stability, transformation and self-sufficiency. We take a holistic approach meeting people at their point of need, walking with them and providing opportunity for self-improvement through relative programs, resources, continued education, relational case management and mentoring.

COVID-19 RESPONSE EFFORTS
Our Team and Volunteers have stepped up as one of the local organizations working on the front lines to serve people experiencing homelessness during the current pandemic. We are providing volunteers to serve meals at the overflow shelter (approx 350 people per day, twice a day, 7 days per week)! We have set up an emergency clothing closet at the shelter, and are providing personal hygiene products, first aid items, linens, latex gloves, and prepackaged snacks for the shelter guests , thanks to our wonderful donors!
Due to the temporary ban on street feeding, we have set up a food/water station at our facility from 10:30am - 12:30pm daily to allow people living on the streets, unsheltered or in their cars to take advantage of our grab-n-go snacks and bottled water. We are also providing funds for family reunification to homeless people who have family in other cities/states that will allow them a place to stay. Our partner organizations are working hard to help us fill any gaps to make sure everyone has the basic necessities to survive this extended Shelter-in-Place Order.
Demand is high and resources are limited, we could use your help! Please consider a financial gift to help us meet these increased needs at; https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/NjE5NTk=
Together We Can Do More!
