The Family Center relies on donations of food and Walmart cards to fill the needs of our students. During the school year, donations can be delivered to the Family Center on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Summer hours will vary.

We also greatly appreciate any service donations you might be able to offer on occasion such as auto repair. (Your service would not be offered publicly and would be coordinated through our office on a case-by-case basis. You would always have the option to decline your services for any reason at your discretion. Even a once-a-year good deed on your part could make the difference in student's well-being and education.)

Food Bank volunteering will help feed our students

Volunteers are needed each month to help us at the Tarrant Area Food Bank.For every volunteer that works at the TAFB, the FSSO is credited $5.15 per hour. This credit is then used to "buy" food from the TAFB for our families in need. This may not sound like much money for your time, but $5 worth of food from the TAFB goes a long way because prices are highly discounted and products are sold in bulk.

Our assigned volunteer time is the second Thursday of every month from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. Please consider helping us on these evenings.

JPS/HEB Child Health Care Center: $5 fee for uninsured students. General and sports physicals, treatment of minor injuries and illnesses, monitoring of chronic conditions, immunizations, and routine laboratory work.
