Grateful for this Community

You will hear one constant theme if you are around the Mission Arlington^® family for any length of time – GRATITUDE.  Our job is simple and constant. We receive what you (so faithfully) provide, and we pass it along to people in need.

We can be where we are, because for 35 years, we have served the Lord in a such a wonderful, giving community.  Even when you don’t have it to give, you do it anyway.  Even when you don’t know personally the recipients of your gifts, you give anyway.

We are humbled and inspired by your loving, sacrificial generosity – every day.  We are truly blessed.  Our prayer is that the blessings of your faithfulness will return to you in great joy and peace.

Now as Much as Ever

The need is truly great in these days.  Thank you for considering an extra gift through this North Texas Giving Day to help people in need.
