Thank you to the Vera Bradley Outlet Store and store manager Kim Jones for generously hosting a food drive in support of our Free Food Market.

We’re so grateful for their team’s kindness and for store associate Laura (pictured) who delivered 95 lbs. of food to help serve our neighbors in need. Community partnerships like this truly make a difference—thank you for serving with purpose!

✨ A record-breaking year of impact—made possible by you. ✨

As we look back on this past year, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for what our community made possible. Because of our generous donors, dedicated volunteers, and incredible partners, thousands of Mansfield families received food, medical care, financial and employment coaching, counseling, and critical support when they needed it most.

This reel shares just a snapshot of the lives touched and the impact created together. Every number represents a person, a family, and a story of hope.

As we step into 2026, we’re excited for what’s ahead—and committed to continuing this work with compassion, dignity, and care.

Thank you for being part of the mission.

We appreciate Dr. Charles at Hometown Health for his continued support and service to our community. Happy anniversary to him and his staff!

As we start a new year, we are also celebrating the 7th anniversary of Hometown Health. I wanted to take a moment and thank all of my patients for being part of our practice. As a clinic, we continue to strive to provide exceptional, personalized care for all of our patients.

As we celebrate another year, we are holding a food drive supporting Mansfield Mission Center's Mission Market. The Mission Market provides food to those in need who are receiving support from the Mission Center. We’ll be accepting food donations at the office (500 E Debbie Ln, Arlington) this Wednesday – Friday (January 14-16). Please feel free to drop off donations during office hours those days, and we’ll be sure to get all of the donations to the Market.

As many of you know the Mission Center is a key part of our community, supporting our neighbors who may need assistance in a variety of ways. I’ve served as the Medical Director for the Mission Center’s Linda Nix Clinic, a free healthcare clinic, for several years, and currently serve on the Mission Center board. To learn more about the Mission Center, its services, and other ways you can support it, go to mansfieldmission.org.

✨ Exciting things are coming in 2026! ✨

We’re thrilled to share some big news about the future of Mansfield Mission Center and Mansfield Mission Center Thrift Store! Plans are underway for a new, centralized campus that will bring our medical services, food market, and thrift store together in one location—making it easier than ever for Mansfield families to access the support they need.

This next chapter represents growth, collaboration, and a deeper commitment to serving our community with dignity and care. We’re so grateful for the donors, volunteers, partners, and supporters who make progress like this possible.

Thank you to the Arlington Report for sharing our story. Read more in the comments.

The best is yet to come—and we can’t wait to continue this journey together.
