Outreach Programs
Through community health resources, food distribution, ESL classes and more, we are able to help bridge the gaps within our area.
Play is essential to the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being of every child. Our Play Days program brings structured fun, physical activity, and positive mentorship directly into local apartment and mobile home communities throughout Arlington, Mansfield, and Kennedale.
We believe kids deserve the chance to simply be kids — to run, laugh, build friendships, and feel safe. At the same time, we recognize that families benefit from access to trusted resources and meaningful connections. During each Play Day, we provide engaging activities, games, and enrichment opportunities while also sharing important community resources that strengthen families.
More than just a day of fun, Play Days builds trust, fosters fellowship, and creates a consistent, caring presence in neighborhoods where it matters most. Through partnership and purpose, we are helping create stronger kids, stronger families, and stronger communities.

Benefits of Volunteering:Â
For the volunteer: Volunteering can improve personal well-being, build relationships, and provide an outlet to discover purpose.Â
For the community: Bringing diverse people together to tackle social issues creates more cohesive communities. A culture of volunteerism can also yield social benefits such as lower unemployment, greater income equality, and youth that are more likely to stay in school and avoid risky behaviorsÂ
