The Leah Vanzant Community Life Center serves our community free groceries every Tuesday from 8:00 until 9:30 AM. We currently service about 125 families on a weekly basis, with our list of clientele well over 2,000 families. We also service families throughout the week as the need arises. The LVCLC is open on Tuesdays to serve the underprivileged in the Haltom City/Fort Worth area.

Special Events-

Back-To-School Day:

We provide free school supplies to all who signed-up during the Summer Feeding Program.  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 on Halloween, and consists of a carnival type atmosphere. It includes a cake walk, several different booths (pumpkin toss, go fishing, etc.) for the child to win prizes, food and drink, jump house, etc. As at any carnival, tickets are used at each booth. All tickets are provided for free.

Thanksgiving Day: 

We serve a free Thanksgiving Day meal from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM. In 2022, we served over 800 meals and delivered meals to local shut-ins and homeless.   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, hot meals are delivered to shut-ins and the homeless. In 2022, over 900 meals were served and toys given.
