MLK Day of Service

This is an amazing event that you do not want to miss! Join us to make it a day on, not a day off. You will be so glad you did! All ages are welcome.

Home for the Holidays
TCT’s Home for the Holidays banquet of caring provides an opportunity to help ward off loneliness and depression for individuals and families who have recently moved off the streets into transitional supportive housing.
Join us in 2020 for another amazing Home for the Holidays banquet of caring.. Your presence and a warm smile can mean more than you imagine. For more information, email Ann Mills for more information.
Newly Housed Program
TCT, Tarrant County Homeless Coalition and the City of Fort Worth is partnering to better serve our newly housed neighbors. There are many needs when transitioning into permanent housing, and our partnership is focused on eliminating those barriers. If you or your congregation would like to get involved, email Lindsay Klatzkin.
Clean for Quarters
Clean clothes and linens are a basic necessity of life. They provide individuals with a sense of self-worth and dignity and allow them to present themselves in a favorable light when applying for jobs. Clean for Quarters is a simple thing you can do to lift the life of individuals or families moving off the street. Collect your extra quarters and, at the end of the month, send them to TCT! We'll get them to case managers at the Fort Worth Housing Authority where they will be distributed to residents for use at laundromats!
