Feed Lake Highlands

GROWING OUR REACH. DEEPING OUR IMPACT. 

2026 North Texas Giving Day Goal: $75,000

Our mission is in our name: Feed Lake Highlands.

What began with just 14 families has grown into a ministry serving thousands of our neighbors each year. In 2025 alone, Feed Lake Highlands served 20,618 individuals representing 6,098 households and provided the equivalent of 247,416 meals.

As the need around us has grown, so have we. But today, one of the greatest barriers to serving more neighbors is not our willingness to help—it is simply space. More space would allow us to expand our hours, giving neighbors more opportunities to access the food and support they need.

This North Texas Giving Day, we are asking our community to help Feed Lake Highlands take an important step forward.

A Place to Call Home. A Place to Feed Hope.

For more than a decade, Feed Lake Highlands has been more than a food pantry. We have been a place where neighbors find nourishment, dignity, compassion, and hope. Now, as the need for food assistance continues to grow across North Texas, we are preparing for the next chapter of our mission—and we need our community to help us open that door.

Our Need

  

$75,000 — HELP US SECURE A HOME OF OUR OWN

Feed Lake Highlands currently operates from a shared facility, which requires our staff to set up and break down our food distribution each week. As an organization that relies heavily on volunteers, we want to be thoughtful stewards of their time and talents- directing their efforts towards serving neighbors rather than repeatedly setting up and dismantling our operation. While our share space has allowed us to serve the community, a dedicated space would create greater efficiency, expand our hours, and give neighbors more opportunities to access food and support. 

For many of our neighbors, those limitations matter.

Food insecurity does not only affect people who are unemployed. In fact, more than half of food-insecure households have at least one adult working full time- a reminder that having a job does not always mean having enough to make ends meet. Food insecurity touches working parents, seniors on fixed incomes, families navigating rising housing and grocery costs and neighbors facing unexpected financial hardship. For many, limited distribution hours can create an additional barrier to getting the help they need. A parent should not have to choose between earning a paycheck and accessing food for their family. Expanding our hours would give more neighbors the flexibility to access food and support when it works for them. 

We want to change that.

Our goal is to raise 75,000 toward securing a larger, dedicated space for Feed Lake Highlands—a home where we can:

• Open additional days each week
• Extend distribution hours to better serve working families
• Eliminate the constant setup and breakdown required by shared space
• Expand food storage and refrigeration capacity
• Create a more accessible and welcoming experience
• Grow our food, literacy, outreach, and community programs
• Serve more neighbors with dignity, consistency, and compassion

This isn't simply about having a bigger building.

It's about creating greater access, making better use of the resources entrusted to us, and being there for more neighbors when they need us. 

Every dollar given toward this goal moves Feed Lake Highlands closer to a permanent home- one that gives us the space and flexibility to serve more neighbors, more efficiently, and with greater access to the food and support they need. 

TOTAL GOAL: $75,000

Last year, our community helped us continue feeding, serving, and reaching our neighbors. This year, we are asking you to help us prepare for what comes next.

Help us open our doors more! 

Because whether a neighbor comes through our doors or we bring food directly to theirs, Feed Lake Highlands will continue to be there.

Feed the body. Nourish the mind. Lift the soul.

This North Texas Giving Day, help us put down roots in the community we call home.
