Shoes get tight. Jeans get short. Coats stop fitting.
For some families, keeping up has been hard for a long time. For others, a lost job, an illness or an unexpected expense can change things almost overnight.
The Goodfellow Fund can't solve every problem a family is facing.
But we can help with this one.
For more than 100 years, The Goodfellow Fund has helped Tarrant County families make sure their children have clothes and shoes that fit.
And we continue to carry that tradition forward today.
Kids know what they like. Parents know what they need. And sometimes a little help at the right time can make a big difference.
Goodfellow Fund helps Tarrant County families meet one of childhood's most basic needs: clothing and shoes that fit, chosen by the kids who will wear them.
Every $100 provides one Tarrant County child with a $100 gift card to choose new clothes and shoes for themselves.
$100 = 1 child
$500 = 5 children
$1,000 = 10 children
$5,000 = 50 children
$10,000 = 100 children
Whether you help one child or one hundred, every gift means another child can choose clothes and shoes that fit, that they need, and that they actually like.
How many kids can we help together?
Every child deserves clothes and shoes that fit, regardless of their family's circumstances.
The Goodfellow Fund serves Tarrant County families facing financial hardship—whether it has been part of their story for years or arrived unexpectedly.
We believe help should be offered with dignity, respect and choice. Families know what their children need, and kids know what they like. That's why the children we serve have the opportunity to choose clothes and shoes that work for them.
Different stories. Same dignity.
