About
5AcresOfImpact
At Rancho Brazos Community Centers (RBCC), we believe every person who walks through our doors deserves to be seen, supported, and served—regardless of their reason for coming to us.
That’s why we follow a No Wrong Door Policy.
Whether someone comes seeking food, youth programs, educational support, help with utilities, or simply a listening ear, they’ve come to the right place. Every staff member and volunteer is trained to respond with compassion and to connect individuals and families with the resources they need—either within RBCC or through our trusted partners.
What It Means in Practice
• Open Access – Every child, parent, or community member is welcomed with dignity, without judgment.
• Warm Hand-Offs – If we can’t meet a need directly, we don’t just give someone a flyer—we walk with them until the connection is made.
• Unified Intake Philosophy – Whether someone starts at the pantry, the Rec program, or in crisis, we work together as one team to coordinate support.
• Empowerment, Not Red Tape – We reduce barriers, simplify paperwork, and help people navigate systems that may otherwise feel overwhelming.
• Community Network – We leverage strong partnerships with schools, churches, nonprofits, and agencies to ensure every neighbor has access to holistic care.
At RBCC, the door someone enters through doesn’t define the help they receive.
We are here to offer hope, practical support, and a hand up—not a hand out.
Because every neighbor matters.
And there is no wrong door when you’re walking toward hope.
Giving Activity
Mission
It is the mission of Rancho Brazos Community Centers to be a key resource and activity center for "at-promise" families in Hood County .
RBCC's goal is to become the second home to everyone who walks in the door, while offering a future with hope by giving a "Hand-Up" instead of a "Hand-Out".

Equity Statement
Equity Statement
At Rancho Brazos Community Centers (RBCC), equity is at the heart of everything we do. We believe every child, youth, and family in Hood County deserves equal access to opportunity, resources, and support — regardless of race, ethnicity, income, background, or circumstance.
Our Commitment
• Inclusive Access: We provide the only free after-school program in Hood County, Paula’s Pantry food assistance, and community outreach programs, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to care or opportunity.
• Respect & Dignity: Every neighbor who comes through our doors is welcomed without judgment and treated with compassion.
• Removing Barriers: We reduce red tape, simplify processes, and walk alongside families to connect them with resources that meet their unique needs.
• Youth Empowerment: We invest in young people through education, life-skills, and leadership development, believing that equity begins with equipping the next generation.
• Community Collaboration: We partner with schools, churches, nonprofits, and civic organizations to ensure every family has access to a strong, interconnected support system.
Our Belief
Equity means more than treating people the same — it means meeting people where they are, addressing disparities, and creating pathways to lifelong growth and resilience.
At RBCC, every neighbor matters. Together, we build a community where everyone has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
