Big news for North Texas Giving Day! 🎉

A generous donor has offered to match donations to Open Arms Homeless Shelter dollar for dollar, up to $4,000. That means your gift can make TWICE the impact in helping our neighbors experiencing homelessness. 💙

Help us unlock the full $4,000 match by giving and sharing with your friends and family!

We will be there!

North Texas Giving Day is September 17!

This day is all about our community coming together to support the organizations making a difference right here at home.

When you give to Fannin County Family Crisis Center, you help make sure survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault have somewhere to turn when they need help and continued support as they heal and rebuild.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us continue providing confidential, compassionate services to survivors throughout Fannin County.

Give hope. Give support. Help survivors thrive.

We hope you’ll join us on September 17 at the Creative Arts Center and be part of a community that stands with survivors.

A big THANK YOU to Brooklyn Hubbard and her little brother, Stetson, for supporting Open Arms Shelter! 💛

Brooklyn and Stetson held a one-day lemonade stand in town and generously donated the proceeds to the shelter. Brooklyn even stopped by to personally deliver their donation!

We are so grateful for young people with such big hearts and for every act of kindness that helps support our mission. Thank you, Brooklyn and Stetson, for thinking of Open Arms Shelter and making a difference in our community! 🍋💛

🏡 A safe place to stay.
🤝 Staff who care.
📋 A plan, support, and someone walking alongside her.

This week, a young woman connected through Open Arms Shelter was able to recover her resources and move into a place of her own.

That is what community support makes possible.

To every person, church, business, and neighbor who gives, prays, volunteers, shares, or supports this mission each month — **you are part of this story.**

Fannin County, YOU DID IT. 💙
