At the Community Enrichment Center (CEC), our vision is simple yet bold: to break the cycle of poverty and family violence. For 37 years, we’ve been restoring hope by changing lives by providing food, affordable housing, resource assistance, and a supportive community for seniors.
Our food pantry is the first step for many families. Each week, clients receive fresh, nutritious groceries valued at more than $250—while also gaining access to financial guidance, housing assistance, and connections to vital programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and WIC.
Your generosity also fuels partnerships like Refresh, a back-to-school event with Birdville ISD, the Northeast Tarrant Chamber of Commerce, and over 30 local churches. Together, we provide school supplies, food, and tutoring to help children succeed and break the cycle of generational poverty.
We make the most of what is given to impact our 13 county region. With every $1 you give, you create an $8.16 economic impact for families in need. With such a high return investment, that's why we're proud to have earned a 4-star rating on Charity Navigator and are Gold Transparency on Candid (Guidestar).
On this North Texas Giving Day, YOU can be the difference. Donate today to give hope, food, and a future to struggling families in our community.
Transforming lives by restoring hope.
CEC’s Food Pantry program is one of the largest food pantries in Tarrant County, providing free grocery assistance to any household with a gross income of 180% of poverty level or below within a 13 county region.
We continue to see the demand for resources grow every year. In 2025, we have provided at least 3,600 households with 72 pounds of nutritious food per household per month. Across 13 counties, we see over 105,000 individuals annually, and provide them with approximately 2.8 million pounds of food. With help from YOU - the community - we have been able to provide more than $5.6 million in economic resources and crises relief to families in need.
However, with the rising cost of living, we are seeing record numbers of families coming into the food pantry. Next year, we see the demands of our community to grow by at least 16%. Your support will help us not only provide the basic need of food, but help offer long term solutions to the barriers they face.
For $25 donation, you can provide two weeks of food for a family of three people.
For $50 donation, you can provide a case of air filters for our affordable housing units.
For $100 donation, you can provide 1,000 lbs. of groceries for families in need.
The CEC embraces the diversity of the communities it serves and advocates for inclusive and equitable opportunities to achieve and grow. We strive to foster a culture of belonging and empowerment among those we serve, staff, board, and supporters.
