Light of Fort Worth
About Light of Fort Worth
Light of Fort Worth shows up where school life gets practical fast. In Fort Worth, that has meant delivering Thanksgiving groceries to families during school breaks and providing uniforms and clothing to students at partner schools. If you care about helping economically disadvantaged students stay steady through the year, this is the kind of hands-on support that matters.
What sets Light of Fort Worth apart is how closely its work stays tied to schools. The organization focuses on practical needs, with Thanksgiving meal deliveries and a uniform drive built around volunteers and community partners.
