North Texas Giving Day is a special day when family, friends and neighbors come together to support the causes that are closes to our hearts—including homelessness. 

This is a challenging time of year for many people, especially anyone who may be living without shelter. We’re doing what we can to meet the need, but we need your help to do it. What better time to help serve the individuals in our community than now?  

Please, give now.  

Your support will help provide critical services like classes in life skills, parenting, finances, substance abuse recovery and more; food assistance and support in the SNAP application process; workforce readiness programs and so much more.   

Happy North Texas Giving Day! Thank you for sharing so much compassion with our neighbors who are navigating the path back to self-sufficiency.  

OUR PROGRAM

The Arlington Life Shelter is a 501(c)3 organization in Arlington dedicated to offering critical services and support to North Texans facing, or experiencing, homelessness.  

Homelessness impacts our families, our friends and our neighbors. It stems from complex roots like domestic violence, eviction, limited resources and social injustice.   

By standing together, we can show our community members that it is possible to find a new day, a new home and a new life. 

Over 36 years, our organization has served more than 30,000 individuals, providing emergency shelter, life skills classes, children’s programming, substance abuse recovery support, workforce readiness training, transportation assistance and more to the people in our community.  

Giving Activity

Mission

The mission of Arlington Life Shelter is to promote self-sufficiency by providing shelter, employment programs and transitional services for North Texans impacted by homelessness.

Needs

We’ve all seen the cost of living remain high this year. For our neighbors facing hardship and homelessness, the impact is especially challenging to overcome. Utilities, food and rent all cost so much that many people are forced to go without simply to survive.

The increased need has brought more people to the Arlington Life Shelter looking for housing assistance, emergency shelter, hunger relief and other basic needs. We’re doing everything we can to meet this need, but we can’t do it without your help.

Equity Statement

The Arlington Life Shelter is committed to including every neighbor in our supportive services. As people across more demographics are impacted by homelessness, we believe it is especially important to provide encouragement, resources and care without discrimination or judgement.

We envision a community where all individuals, families, and children affected by homelessness have access to the services and support necessary to restore ability and achieve personalized success.
