Who We Are
A Foundation of Experience and Hope
Chat N Chew is a volunteer-based nonprofit driven by personal experience. Our founder navigated a season of intense loss, struggle, and financial challenges—a journey many single parents surviving domestic violence know all too well. From this experience, she learned powerful lessons: having a supportive community, receiving critical relief for essential needs, and creating stability are the foundation of transformation.
She realized that if this kind of integrated support had been immediately available, the struggle would not have lasted as long, sparing her children from the prolonged effects of housing instability and trauma. These core lessons became the foundation of Chat N Chew...to provide single parents who are survivors of domestic violence with hope, stability, and a fresh start. What began as a personal journey has grown into a community effort, reinforced by volunteers offering care from deep, shared understanding.
Chat N Chew exists to stabilize unhoused single-parent families by removing crisis-driven barriers and safeguarding children’s well-being as families work toward lasting stability.
We are seeking a permanent home for our food pantry and supportive services, ideally located in the Saginaw, TX area. A dedicated facility would allow us to safely store and distribute food, provide clothing assistance, offer private spaces for prayer and intake assessments, and expand support for individuals and families in crisis.
As we currently serve approximately 1,200 individuals each month from across the DFW area without zip code restrictions, securing a stable, accessible location is essential to sustaining and growing our impact.
We are committed to serving all individuals and families with dignity, respect, and fairness. Our services are available to anyone in need, without zip code restrictions, and we strive to remove barriers that often prevent access to food, clothing, and supportive resources.
We recognize that economic hardship, housing instability, and domestic violence disproportionately impact vulnerable populations. Our approach centers on equitable access, compassionate care, and culturally responsive support to ensure every person who walks through our doors feels valued and supported.
