About COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT CENTER INC

Community Enrichment Center (CEC) is a long-established 501(c)(3) human services organization based in North Richland Hills / Fort Worth, Texas. Founded in the late 1980s, CEC operates a large food pantry, affordable housing portfolio, and bundled family-stability services to help struggling families move toward self-sufficiency. CEC serves Tarrant County and surrounding counties, offering food assistance, rent and utility support, benefits counseling, employment/financial coaching, VITA tax help, senior services, and child & adolescent programming. In recent years the organization has scaled operations to deliver food, housing supports, and case-managed services to tens of thousands of local residents annually.
