About UP MINISTRY

UP MINISTRY is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Argyle, Texas, founded to support at-risk children in Denton County and surrounding communities. The organization coordinates year-round programs that provide school supplies, clothing and shoes, weekend meal packs, and holiday assistance for children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. UP MINISTRY operates with volunteer leadership and no paid staff, directing donations to program needs. In recent years the organization has expanded missions such as Gear UP (backpacks and school supplies), Fuel UP (weekend meal packs), and the UP Ministry Angels holiday program, and has partnered with local schools, Communities In Schools, area churches and foundations to scale its services. UP MINISTRY appears active and publicly engaged: it maintains an official website, participates in regional giving platforms and town events, files annual IRS Form 990 (public filings available), and has received foundation support to sustain and grow its programs.
