Thank you for visiting our website! Please look around and see
what we're doing in Texarkana and the surrounding community.
Many think of the The Texarkana Friendship Center as merely a soup kitchen but in fact, we're much more than that. While it is true that the Center feeds an average of 180 people
a day as well as providing groceries for over 14 families daily (as of Oct. 1, 2007),
this is just a small part of the ministry at The Texarkana Friendship Center (TFCI).
Hopefully our website will enable you to catch the vision of the incredible life-changing experiences that occur daily at the TFCI.
Our vocational training presently includes a fully equipped auto repair shop at 4th and Oak street, that is staffed by closely supervised trainees and is open to the public offering
guaranteed work at minimum cost.
Additionally, State Certified Nurse Assistant Training is available free of charge. Carpentry, welding and culinary training will soon be added in the near future.
The bottom line is to to help people who have in the past been unemployable be trained to work, earn a paycheck and become productive citizens.
Your consideration in supporting this work as a volunteer or financially is so greatly appreciated
by so many who have little or no hope for tomorrow.
