☀Summer is here, and so are Fort Worth's cooling stations.☀

Please take a moment to review and share this information. A simple share could help a neighbor, friend, family member, or someone experiencing homelessness find relief from the dangerous Texas heat. 🌡️

Want to do even more? DRC Solutions' Street Outreach team is on the front lines every day helping unsheltered neighbors stay safe and connected to resources. Your donation helps provide essential supplies like water, hygiene items, sun protection, and more throughout the summer months.

Share this post. Check on your neighbors. Support local outreach. Together, we can help keep our community safe this summer. ☀️🧡

🧡 A huge thank you to the summer youth group from University Christian Church of Fort Worth!

This week, they visited DRC Solutions to learn about homelessness in our community and the ways they can make a difference. Then they rolled up their sleeves and assembled more than 150 hygiene kits for our Street Outreach team just when our closet was running empty!

These kits will provide essential supplies, comfort, and dignity to our unsheltered neighbors during the hottest days of summer. Thank you, University Christian Church, for your compassion, curiosity, and willingness to serve. You are making a real difference in our community and all of our futures brighter! ☀😎

‼‼ WE ARE IN NEED ‼‼

DRC Street Outreach is doing all they can to support and help our unsheltered neighbors across Tarrant County survive the harsh elements, BUT WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Summertime is here, and in addition to hygiene kit items, we are in desperate need of these seasonal items:
☀️sunblock
🦟 bug spray
🚿body wipes
⚡️electrolyte powder packets
💧bottles of water

If you can help, please contact Brit Parker at [email protected] or call 817-810-9797 to coordinate drop off/pick up of donated items. You can also donate to the DRC and know your donation is going directly to help support our community at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/drcgiving2024/💙🧡 Thank you!

🏓💙 Who are your heroes?💙🏓

Strong communities are built by heroes- the people, businesses, and organizations that choose to invest in the place they call home. DRC Solutions works every day to help neighbors overcome barriers to housing, stability, and self-sufficiency.

While our team may be the ones doing the work on the front lines, our sponsors are the heroes helping build the stronger, healthier Tarrant County we all want to be part of. Home Court Heroes gives us the opportunity to celebrate the community partners who help make that work possible!

If your organization values community, teamwork, and local impact, we'd love to have you join us as a Home Court Heroes sponsor.

Sponsorships start at just $250. Let's have some fun, play some pickleball, and celebrate the people helping build the Fort Worth we all want to be part of. Learn more here: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/y97tge/event/hchsponsor26/

Due to power outage, we unfortunately had to close the office today around 11 AM. If you need anything, please contact us by email. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

DRC Solutions spent the afternoon wishing happy trails to Victoria, our Housing team lead as she moves on to a new role in homelessness services.

Our work is hard. Goodbyes are hard, too, but we are grateful for good times together. Thank you & best of luck, Victoria!

The DRC Solutions office will be closed on Monday, May 25th in honor of Memorial Day.

Later that week, DRC will also be closing at 11 AM on Friday, May 29th for staff development.

Please have a safe, long weekend, and don't forget to help your neighbors!

What does "activating your community trusteeship" look like? It looks like a great day. 🧡

Yesterday, a small group from the Leadership Fort Worth Class of 2026 spent the day learning about homelessness in Tarrant County and how DRC Solutions helps unsheltered neighbors overcome barriers to housing and stability.

This incredible group assembled hygiene kits that were distributed directly to people living unsheltered near Lancaster/Riverside area, and packed cleaning kits for clients who are rebuilding their lives in housing with support from DRC case managers. Fun fact: DRC's Director of Marketing & Development, Brit Parker, is a proud member of the Leadership Fort Worth Class of 2026, which made the visit even more meaningful for our team.

By taking time to learn, serve, and connect, these future leaders demonstrated that creating a stronger community starts with understanding the challenges our neighbors face and choosing to be part of the solution.

Thank you, Leadership Fort Worth, for spending your day with us and for your commitment to making our city a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

We wish you kindness, bravery, and strength as you help shape Fort Worth's future. 💙 And learn more about how you can plug into a great community organization and mission like DRC's at www.drc-solutions.org
