Feed by Grace’s mission is to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the
homeless community of Fort Worth. The ministry will develop and implement
cost-effective, Christian-based programs that meet the needs of a diverse population
working to break the cycle of homelessness.

Feed by Grace began as a ministry designed to install raised bed vegetable gardens
that would grow food for the needy. In 2004, Founder Neale Mansfield envisioned a
park with gardens in the midst of the impoverished neighborhood of East Lancaster.
In January 2005, the ministry began shifting its focus towards the homeless individuals
who populate the neighborhood. Since that time, the ministry has been housed in a
building that was once a local bar and has transformed the adjoining vacant lot into a
beautiful community park for the homeless, offering a place of peace and a safe haven
from the streets.

Feed by Grace’s vision for the future is to expand programming designed to re-create
meaning in homeless people’s lives through connection with community and a sense of
self-worth, healthy outlook and empowerment. Our focus will always be to provide
hope for a brighter future and a better tomorrow.
