Location is to be Announced — Dallas, TX
Join us for Ardyn Hope’s annual Back to School Drive! A free community event designed to support and uplift families as they prepare for the new school year. This day is about more than supplies, it's about showing up for our community with care, connection, and compassion.
We’re providing:
🎒 Free backpacks, school supplies, and hygiene kits
🧒 Resources and services for children, youth, and caregivers
🧺 A variety of local vendors and community partners
🍴 Food and fun activities for all ages
Last year, we served over 200 students with the help of generous donors, volunteers, and partner organizations. This year, we’re aiming even higher and we’d love to have you involved!
💛 How to Get Involved
📦 Donate Supplies
We are collecting new backpacks and diapers to help families attending the event. Every contribution makes a direct impact.
🧺 Become a Vendor
We’re inviting community-focused vendors, nonprofits, and small businesses to table at the event. This is a great opportunity to connect with families and share helpful services or information.
🙌 Volunteer Your Time
From greeting families to handing out supplies or helping with setup, volunteers are the heart of this event. No experience needed! Just kindness and commitment.
Empower Her
EmpowerHer is a women’s group that provides a secure and supportive space for women in our community to connect, share experiences, and access resources to assist in their personal growth and empowerment journeys. This is a 6-week commitment.

💖 A Community Celebration for Moms Who Give Everything
This past Mother’s Day, we created a space to uplift and support mothers in our community — especially those who are young, single, or navigating difficult seasons. Through a warm brunch, thoughtful gifts, and meaningful connection, we aimed to ensure every mom who attended felt valued and cared for.
The event was inspired by lived experience. Some of us at Ardyn Hope know firsthand the challenges of motherhood — and that understanding made this gathering all the more meaningful.
Women’s Group Wrap-Up
Reflecting on a wonderful gathering, our women's group recently enjoyed a delightful meal together, fostering connections and cherished moments. As the evening came to a close, laughter echoed in the air, highlighting the bonds of friendship and support that define our community.

We hope you all had a SPOOK-tastic time with us at Ardyn Hope Inc.'s 2nd Annual Pumpkin Patch Halloween Party! Thank you to all of our volunteers from Parkland Community Health Plan and Impact Communities for participating and making it a wonderful time for our kiddos!!!
Ardyn Hope Inc would like to especially thank The Kiddie Academy of Far North Dallas for hosting this scary good extravaganza!!! We'll see you ghosts and ghouls next year!
I AM ME Diaper Drop and Halloween celebration
A huge thank you to all the amazing volunteers, community members, and partners who came together to make our recent I AM ME Diaper Drop and Halloween celebration a success! Your support and dedication helped create an unforgettable day filled with laughter, games, face painting, and even a piñata!
We are especially grateful for the generous contributions from Parkland Hospital and Amazon's Community Engagement team. Your partnership empowers us to bring these joyful, meaningful experiences to our community.
