Special Events

Back-To-School Day:

The last Friday before the fall semester of school, we provide free school supplies for all who signed-up during the Summer Lunch Program we supply.  When the children sign-up, we ask them for their favorite color and their favorite character (Barbie, Power Rangers, etc.) We obtain all their school supplies that are required by the school district, along with a backpack to carry them in. We try to personalize each child’s backpack and supplies by providing them with their favorite color and/or character they had requested.

Harvest Fest:

This is provided around Halloween, and consists of a carnival type atmosphere. It includes a cake walk, several different booths (pop the balloon, go fishing, etc.) for the child to win prizes, food and drink, big Moon Walk, entertainment, etc. As at any carnival, tickets are used at each booth. All tickets are provided free.

Thanksgiving Day 

We serve a free Thanksgiving Day meal from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM. In 2012, we served over 800 meals and delivered 100 meals to local shut-ins. Free groceries are also distributed.

Christmas Day 

On Christmas Day from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM we serve a free luncheon. The day begins with Mr. And Mrs. Santa Clause arriving on a Haltom City Fire Truck. Once in place, they give out free gifts to every child in attendance. We also offer free groceries, clothing and winter coats. Free showers are offered and hot meals are delivered to shut-ins. In 2012, over 900 meals were served and toys given.

What happens every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
