People Feeding People, Inc. (PFP) is a 501(c)(3) grassroots organization that is run by volunteers and supported by donations of money, food, and supplies.  Our organization provides meals, basic hygiene items, music, fellowship, and smiles to hungry people, many of whom are homeless. At PFP, it is important that we treat everyone with dignity and respect - we offer a hand up and not a handout.

​

Our name says it all: we are people feeding people because we can and because we care.

​

PFP meets at Unity Park in Fort Worth the first and third Thursday of each month.  We start serving meals just after 1 PM and usually feed 100 people or more by 2:00 PM.  We provide live music to entertain folks who are waiting to be served. PFP provides a hot meal (usually bean and cheese burritos, chips, fruit, hot sauce and a drink) and a non-perishable meal to take with them.  Based on availability, we also offer feminine products, condoms, toiletries, socks, shoes, and bedding items.

​

In 2017, we provided more than 2,400 meals in Tarrant County.   

​

Fort Worth has a poverty rate of just under 18%, and almost 30% are veterans or suffer from mental illness.  Currently, there are more than 853,000 people in the North Texas 13-county service area that live in food-insecure households.  

​

In fact, one in every 4 children in our community lives in a food-insecure household.

​

In 2018, we have tripled the number of meals served and have expanded services to help senior citizens, underserved youth, and other nonprofits in Parker, Palo Pinto, and Coleman counties.   

​

Coleman County has an overall poverty level above 18%.  During the school year, PFP helps provide meals for more than 100 elementary and junior high students each week.  In Parker County, we provide food for seniors to augment what they receive through the Parker County Meals on Wheels program.

​

PFP has no political or religious affiliations.  We serve many individuals who are unable to receive assistance from other programs.  Some organizations have income level restrictions or require proper identification in order to receive food or services.   While PFP collects basic data (age, gender, housing status), we do not require documentation -- we only ask how we can help and do our best to fill the need.  While a larger percentage of those we serve are homeless, we also help individuals who struggle to afford food and basic necessities.  It is not always easy to tell when someone is in need and some people are embarrassed or scared to let people know they are struggling.

​

At our core is the belief that something as simple as a meal makes a significant positive difference in the lives of the people we serve.  Please help us brighten as many people's day as we can. Together we are stronger!
