Cook Children’s Medical Center (Child Life Group - children’s needs)

Cook Children’s Medical Center is a private, nonprofit hospital that relies on the generosity of the community for continued success. The hospital offers children access to nationally recognized programs in the treatment of cancer and blood disorders, heart defects and respiratory ailments. We provide necessary medical care to children, regardless of a parent's ability to pay.  Many children and families arrive at Cooks under emergency situations and are unprepared or unable to meet the needs of an extended stay.  The Child Life Group provides clothes, toys or other needs for the patient and family.  They are also VERY interested in a small number of cars to come “show” for the patients in their front U-Turn. This has been a very big success for the teenage boys.

Tarrant Area Food Bank

We are based in Fort Worth to collect and redistribute food to our area's needy and poor. All of our programs are designed with this philosophy in mind. We believe that these individuals and families need help pulling themselves back up so that they can again become contributors to our community and society as a whole.  We receive NO federal or state funding. In our battle against hunger, we have distributed over seventeen and one-half million (17,500,000) pounds of food to more than 800,000 needy families throughout Tarrant and the surrounding counties in 1998 alone. Our Emergency Food Assistance Program sees lines of 200 to 300 families daily, and the numbers grow steadily. It is our mission to secure food for these individuals.
