Our 3rd Leadership 4 Service Project - Mission Arlington

Mission Arlington

Since its inception in 1986, Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex has served as a standard for excellence in non-profit social work by a faith-based organization.  Both religious and mainstream organizations have recognized the efforts of Mission Metroplex and Mission Arlington.  Here are just some of the services that this OUTSTANDING non-profit provides:

After School Programs

Students receive help with their homework each week during the school year at multiple locations.

Busing

In partnership with the Arlington Independent School District, Mission Arlington assists children safely to and from school who are not within the school districts bus routes, but still would have to cross dangerous intersections.

Camps

Summer camps are one of Mission Arlington’s specialties. We host up to 10 camps during July, created with four different groups in mind: Preschool, school age, pre-teens and high school students.

Carnivals

Mission Arlington works with managers of apartment communities, police and fire departments, and other civic and community organizations to host carnivals for children and teenagers. Popcorn, snow cones and the Mission Arlington “bouncy house” are just a few of the ways to bring smiles to the faces of children and adults alike.

 

Financial Help

Direct financial assistance is provided to help families with portions of their rent, utility, gasoline, and prescription costs. Information about social service agencies is also available for those who need further help.

Food, Home and Personal Needs

We supply families with short-term supplies of groceries, personal hygiene items, diapers, baby formula and more to help them get by when resources are tight.  Mission Arlington is here to make sure donations such as clothing, furniture, appliances and other household items get to those in need.

School Supplies

Starting school with the basic essentials such as paper, pencils, rulers and more is important to the success of students. Each summer, Mission Arlington partners with the community to provide the basic start-up school supplies required by the Arlington Independent School District for families who do not have the means to purchase these items for their children.

 

Transportation

Mission Arlington transports people in need to various locations in Arlington for jobs, education and job training, social service needs, childcare, after-school programs, tutoring, and more.

During our seminar service projects, HOBY will help this non-profit by storing through donations, stocking shelves, prepare food baskets and anything else that we can do to help those in need.
