Calling all Thanksgiving volunteers! We need you to sign up and help us provide Thanksgiving dinner groceries to hundreds of families and individuals in our community!
This year we’re excited to announce that we’ll be inviting families to "shop" for their Thanksgiving supplies in our brand-new free Grocery Market! All summer Mission volunteers and staff have been working hard to launch and run this exciting new version of our food pantry. Since May our guests have been able to browse the aisles and select only the food they want and need from our dried goods, produce, frozen, and refrigerated aisles.
This year we’ll host TWO Thanksgiving shop days: one on Saturday, November 18th from 10am-2pm and one on Wednesday, November 22nd from 10am-2pm! We need volunteers to help greet, guide, stock, and more on both days.

Mission Statement
First Street Mission is building upon a 50-year history as a steady source of social support and tangible assistance to those who find themselves somewhere on the linked cycles of poverty, crisis, and homelessness. In an era of ever-evolving community needs, we are proud to have earned a reputation for reliability, innovation, and collaboration with our community partners to multiply our collective impacts.
Description
Who is First Street Mission?
First Street Mission prides itself on exceeding expectations.
We continuously seek to develop innovative and flexible responses to emerging needs and city-wide gaps in services by capitalizing on our three foundational pillars: Our 50-year history providing relational, reliable services to communities in crisis from our location in downtown Fort Worth, our bedrock of committed volunteers, and our reputation for creative collaboration with community partners.
What is First Street’s impact in the community?
We may seem small, but we’re more than the sum of our parts... And we’re growing.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, First Street Mission’s ability to quickly pivot and respond to emerging community needs led the organization to become the largest food pantry in the city of Fort Worth. Now in 2023, as CARES funding evaporates and Fort Worth experiences an unprecedented increase in housing costs, unsheltered homelessness, and deaths caused by homelessness, we have once again shown flexibility and creativity, quickly launching a Street Outreach program designed to address these needs.
