If you've been driving around Fort Worth, it's likely you've seen our blue and white UpSpire trucks along the freeways, our litter abatement crews hard at work collecting tons of litter. We are proud to play a big part in keeping the @CityofFortWorth clean! #litterabatement #keepfortworthclean #employment https://lnkd.in/gUF8WySB

We celebrate our volunteers all year long, but especially during Volunteer Appreciation Month! Thank you to all of you volunteers who make our programs even stronger!

The Foot Clinic that happens here at True Worth Place was recently featured in the American Journal of Nursing blog. Learn how this partnership with nursing students from TCU is impacting lives. The next clinic is April 25. "For many guests, the foot clinic represents one of the few moments where they feel seen, valued, and treated with dignity and respect. The importance of foot care for this population cannot be overstated; standing for hours and relying on walking as their primary mode of transportation makes foot health essential. Providing care in this area not only addresses immediate physical needs but also addresses their mobility." https://lnkd.in/edcAA7Gw

It couldn't have been a more beautiful morning to celebrate the grand opening of Journey Home Housing at Seminary! A year ago, we were at the beginning of a dream to acquire 42 units of old student housing from the Southwest Theological Baptist Seminary and covert it into permanent affordable housing with wraparound services for families exiting homelessness. Today, it is a reality! And it is only possible because of a community coming together to make it so - donors, volunteers, board members, staff. Thank you to all who attended the event and who worked to make this amazing day possible. The celebration ended with twenty rings on the bell - one ring for each family that has exited homelessness and moved into Journey Home Housing at Seminary. #journeyhomehousing #guidingthejourneyhome #affordablehousing
