The spirit of compassion and transformation is coming alive at the Wallis American Legion Hall Post 200 on January 27, 2024. Join us for a heartwarming Food Fair sponsored by Family Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the community of northern Fort Bend County. Get ready for a morning of delicious food, community bonding, and the chance to make a positive impact in the lives of those who need it most.

In 2014, a group of pastors and community leaders came together to address the needs of families in the Fulshear-Simonton areas. Out of their compassion and commitment to transformation, Family Hope was born. Today, Family Hope stands as the largest non-profit agency exclusively serving northern Fort Bend County’s residents with essential services such as medical assistance, food, rent and utility assistance, job searches, furniture, and disaster relief.
