MOVING HOME

Mobilizing muscle to help formerly homeless people move into permanent supportive housing. Our network of movers come from congregations around Tarrant County. Who knew that using muscles could change a life? All it takes is a team of 3 or 4, a truck if one is available, and the muscle to lift the double bed, chest of drawers, table and four chairs, couch, chair, and TV provided to those moving off the streets and into a real home.

CLEAN FOR QUARTERS

A little change can make big change possible. Annual drives collect quarters to help formerly homeless people in supportive housing units have something we all take for granted: clean clothes. In 2010, we collected over $1400 in quarters. That’s 8,750 loads of laundry that made it possible for residents in Directions Home and Shelter Plus Care housing to go to job training, job interviews, and jobs in clean, presentable clothes. Appearance matters when you’re looking for work. Clean clothes are a necessity.

HANDS OF HOPE

Money isn’t everything – in fact, when it comes to changing lives, person-to-person encouragement and shared skills are the things that really make a difference as people move off the street and work to support themselves. That is why TACC and Family Pathfinders are teaming up to build teams of mentors that can reach out and raise up those who are struggling to stay off the street and build a new life. Spring 2011, Hands of Hope goes “live” – will you reach out to another with hands of hope?
