For forty-one years, Harvest House has provided food, clothing, and financial aid to North Texans with low-to-moderate income. In 2024 we served more than 9000 unduplicated residents. Our food pantry offers groceries, and families with children have access to increased food during the summer and holidays. We also provide food to seniors in low-income housing, and we deliver bulk foods to eight local food ministries. Clients apply for financial aid to cover rent, utilities, and urgent needs, and we offer clothing vouchers for our resale shop. Returning clients check in biannually, and we assess how to further reduce financial and emotional stress. In addition to basic needs, we partner with more than ten local organizations to connect clients with services such as financial counseling and employment guidance. Our tagline, Feed – Clothe – Restore, sums up the goal to not only provide aid for local residents but also to walk alongside them as they regain financial and emotional stability.
Your Harvest House provides basic necessities, spiritual encouragement, education, and care to individuals and families in our community by following Biblical principles. Our vision is to help families break the cycle of hopelessness by providing resources that assist in restoring their dignity and independence.
The rising cost of living across North Texas has pushed many working families to the brink. Essentials like food, housing, and transportation have become increasingly unaffordable, especially for low- to moderate-income households. In Texas, 43% of families fall below the ALICE threshold—meaning they earn above the federal poverty level but still cannot afford basic necessities (United, 2024). Meanwhile, food insecurity affects 1 in 6 Texans, with the highest rates among children, seniors, and rural populations (Feeding, 2024). These trends are reflected in the growing demand for Harvest House services
Harvest House serves families in both urban Tarrant County and rural Johnson County, where poverty and financial strain manifest in different but equally urgent ways. In areas like Everman, where the poverty rate is 23%, many residents face limited access to food assistance and job opportunities. In Johnson County, even households earning above the poverty line struggle to cover rent, utilities, and transportation due to lack of local infrastructure and economic opportunity. As inflation continues to outpace wages, more families are turning to Harvest House for help with groceries, clothing, emergency financial aid, and long-term stability resources like ESL classes and financial education. The need is urgent—and growing.

We, the Board of Directors, Leaders and staff of Your Harvest House are united in our understanding that racism, prejudice, and racial discrimination in all forms are sinful and are in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus. Such things as these should not be overlooked or tolerated within our communities. We stand together in this public declaration that racism, prejudice, and racial discrimination, whether explicit or implicit, are incompatible with the command of our Lord Jesus to "love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39)." Therefore, we accept our sacred responsibility before God to address racism, prejudice, and racial discrimination within our organization and hereby resolve to personally model Christ-like love toward all people, confront racial discrimination wherever we observe it, and bring God's Word to bear upon such sinfulness through our acts of service. We affirm each member of our community regardless of race or ethnicity and welcome each to our community as neighbors. We pledge to do our part in making sure our community is one of inclusion and hospitality to all. Driven by our faith in the Lord Jesus, we implore each and every member of our communities to stand with us in our determination to stand against the sins of racism, prejudice, and racial discrimination and to embrace the challenge of the Prophet Micah, "to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8)."
