Following a facility relocation to Kennedale, the Fort Worth HOPE Center operates as a mobile food pantry system.  Once or more a month, we host community food distribution events at local venues (such as the Martin Luther King Community Center) in collaboration with sponsors and partner organizations.

Beyond food security, the center offers links and references for broader community health, education, children's resources, and family support. They also collect community feedback via an online survey to identify needed programs like job search assistance and counseling.
