About The Tree Of North Texas
A student’s needs do not stop when the school day ends. The Tree of North Texas pairs weekly tutoring and mentoring with Weekend Snack Packs, free clothing and shoes, and other essentials for low-income students across the Birdville, Keller, Northwest, and Fort Worth independent school districts. Your support helps provide practical care that reaches students at school and at home.
The Tree of North Texas addresses the school week and the weekend: students can receive homework help and mentoring, then take home no-cook food items when school meals are not available. Its Second Op Resale Shop also gives students access to free clothing and shoes while purchases help fund programs for local students.

In their words
Students cannot learn when they are hungry. Hunger affects memory, focus, and behavior which makes it harder for them to succeed in the classroom. By meeting their nutritional needs, we give them the chance to truly learn and thrive. - Brandon Board, CEO of The TREE
This is not a one person job, this is a one community job - Brandon Board
