In our community the homeless and low income population seem to continue to grow for various reasons. Although we do not always know what leads someone to be destitute, homeless or impoverished, we do know that we can bring relief and love as Christ commanded us to do.

We are currently in need of a utility van or pick up truck, funds for an office/warehouse for distributing food, clothes, job resources, work boots for men and women. We are preparing our biggest event for Christmas, which we will distribute toys, clothing and food.
Fort Worth Five Loaves and Two Fish mission is to empower individuals experiencing homelessness or poverty by providing comprehensive support services that address the interconnected issues of mental health, health, hunger, and violence. We are committed to delivering boots-to-the-ground outreach services that prioritize dignity, respect, and compassion, while fostering a community that promotes healing, hope, and self-sufficiency.
The necessity for securing adequate funds is paramount to ensure the continued operation and effectiveness of our organization. The allocation of resources is crucial to cover the expenses associated with daily operational costs and equipment, which are essential for delivering our programs and services. Moreover, the funding is vital to support the implementation of our strategic initiatives, which aim to enhance the quality and scope of our offerings. Specifically, the funds will be utilized to cover operational costs such as storage fees, equipment and truck rentals, food costs, temporary labor costs for hauling donations as well as to finance specific programs and projects that align with our mission and objectives. By securing sufficient funding, we will be able to sustain our operations, expand our reach, and ultimately, make a more significant impact in the lives of our beneficiaries.
We will not deny any individual an equal opportunity to receive aid, food, shelter assistance, or assistance of any type on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, familial status, or a mental or physical disability.
