About HEART OF THE CITY

Heart of the City is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) based in Lewisville, Texas that provides dignity-centered basic needs and life-skills services to neighbors across South Denton County and the greater Lewisville area. Its core programs include a Farmers Market Food Pantry (free groceries), Grahams Totally Free Clothing boutique (free clothing), and THRIVE life-skills coaching and training (personal and professional development).

The organization operates multiple distribution campuses, partners with local institutions and food-relief networks, and grew rapidly since its founding in 2019. Heart of the City was founded by members of Northview Baptist Church and continues to combine faith-informed mission with professional operations and municipal partnerships to serve low- and moderate-income families in its region.

The organization built a large volunteer network and community partnership base, registering over a thousand new volunteers and recording many thousands of volunteer hours to sustain its distribution and training programs.
