With a Mission Statement of "To provide hope to the under-served through collaborative partnerships and community service" we identified four primary areas that are lacking the area support needed to survive the impacts made on them by the current financial crisis so many are challenged with these days. Those populations include Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, Homelessness, Vulnerable Families, foster/adoptions. Our primary DV agencies are The Archway (Former Safe Haven), Arlington Housing Authority, Arlington Urban Ministries, Arlington Night Shelter) We've added the Veterans Administrations former incarcerated women and their clients this year. We have engaged organizations and neighborhoods in Tarrant County and its six surrounding counties to donate needed funds, furniture, household items and volunteer time that are used to furnish rental housing of domestic violence moms and her children. Utilizing a volunteer corps that includes high school and university students, adult civic and business leaders, church goers to collect and distribute donated items to recipients in bare-walls, bare floors living quarters. These make a huge impact on self-esteem, feeling of being cared about and a huge boost in hope for the recipients. Since August of 2020 we've completely furnished over 500 apartments and are on target to surpass over 150 furnishings in 2026 alone. To financially support that pace we need to more than double our 2022 donation amount of over $10,000 (includes checks and NTXGD proceeds).
We also collect, refurbish and distribute bikes to the homeless which enables them to get to and sustain employment. That qualifies them for housing grants, gets them off the street and further helps with their self-esteem, pride and hope for the future. We've distributed over 300 bikes since 2020 with many now living in apartments.
As we publish articles with pictures in social media about these events, donors see their items repurposed which instills community service with their children. We've seen instances of those children donating their own items (willingly even) to ShareFest-Texas to give to the children of our recipients.
Another of our 11 initiatives involves helping assisted / palliative care families with members transitioning from a facility for any reason; i.e., going to memory care, hospice or from passing. Upon notice from the family and facility, ShareFest-Texas volunteers will come and remove all furniture and belongings within 48 hours from the patient's unit and store it in a pre-defined storage entity for 30 days. This move saves the family high rental fees of the care facility and provides time for the family to review and make decisions concerning the belongings and furniture. Frequently families will donate the furniture to SFT and medical devices to care facilities within thirty days or less thus saving considerable stress.
To Provide Hope to the Under-Served Through Collaborative Partnerships and Community Service. For Domestic Violence victim families HOPE arrives in the form of a fully furnished apartment or home with quality furniture and essential items. For Homeless Victims, Hope arrives in the form of a bicycle which enables them to find and get to their employment location consistently, demonstrate stability, qualify for sponsored apartment which we furnish and they come volunteer for us.
SFT is needing funds to support the collection, warehouse storage and distribution of furniture, household goods and essential supplies for ShareFest-Texas' Initiatives. The primary initiative is associated with the furnishing for Domestic Violence (Safe Haven+), Child Abuse (CPS), Homeless victim and refugee rental units. Since August 2020 ShareFest-Texas has now fully furnished over 500 recipient apartments and houses and partially furnished many foster and adoptive care homes. Thus far in 2026 we've furnished 11 apartments. However, because of the recent ending of the federal funding of the CARES Act (Covid Assistance) domestic violence and homeless cases have surged causing us to increase our rate to 3 & 4 apartments per week. We currently have 8 families in apartments without anything more than an air-mattress. We project SFT will furnish over 150 apartments in 2026.
