A Stronger Community Starts with a Full Plate

This North Texas Giving Day, your gift will be doubled to fight hunger right here in Northwest Tarrant County.

The match has now increased to $10,000!

Thanks to founding partner Eagles View Church, along with Jennifer and Todd Flippo, your gift will have 2X the impact. Your $50 gift will become $100 — enough to provide two families with groceries for a week.

Together, we can bridge the gap between hunger and hope. A stronger community starts with a full plate, and your generosity will put food on the table for twice as many families.

The Need in Northwest Tarrant County

Your early North Texas Giving day gift can make an immediate difference in the lives of Hunger is closer than many realize.

  • 1 in 6 people in our community face food insecurity.
  • 1 in 5 children don’t know where their next meal will come from.
  • Tarrant County has the 12th highest food insecurity rate in the nation.

At Community Link, we see this need every day. In 2024, we served 25,000 families and 86,586 individuals. Meet three neighbors you have helped.

But our resources are stretched too thin. Right now, we can only support 160 families each day, even though the demand is for more than 300 families daily.

That means too many of our neighbors are left without the food they need.

Be Part of the Fight Against Hunger

No one should go hungry while waiting for the next paycheck. Together, we can ensure every family who comes to Community Link finds food, dignity, and hope.

More Than a Meal: Stories of Hope

HEIDI’S STORY

“You’ve made it possible for my kids to feel like kids again.”

When Heidi lost her job and her husband’s trucking income became unreliable, she worried about how to provide for their two young daughters. Groceries kept getting more expensive, and the family’s budget couldn’t keep up.

Coming to Community Link changed everything. “It’s life changing,” Heidi said. “It’s absolutely made us feel safer, that we’ll be able to get by. We would have been maxing out credit cards right now if it weren’t for this help.”

Thanks to the generosity of friends like you, Heidi’s daughters have food on the table, fresh fruits and vegetables, and even small treats that let them feel like kids again. “Thank you,” Heidi shared. “You’ve made it possible for my kids to feel like kids again.”

HEATHER’S STORY

“It meant everything.”

For Heather, medical expenses consumed what little money her family had. “When I say there’s no food in the house, there’s no food in the house,” she told us.

Coming to Community Link gave her family breathing room. They received groceries and even a special face cleanser her teenage daughter needed to help clear up her skin. “That was the only thing I had in my house for her to use. I couldn’t afford to buy it, and it worked. It meant everything.”

For Heather and her children, the pantry was more than a meal. It was dignity, relief, and hope.

ABEL’S STORY

“It’s been a blessing, big time. This has helped us beyond explanation.”

After two surgeries left Abel unable to work, he struggled to care for his mother and 11-year-old son.

“It’s been a blessing, big time,” he said. “This has helped us beyond explanation.” For Abel’s family, something as simple as a bag of groceries means security and a chance to focus on recovery. “My son’s a big fan of spaghetti, anytime I’m able to make that with the groceries, it’s a win-win,” Abel added with a smile.

Community Link gave Abel’s family what every family deserves, food his son not only needs but likes, relief, and the reassurance they’re not alone.
