Waxahachie CARE

Waxahachie CARE provides counseling/referrals, food, and financial assistance. Counseling with clients is designed to ensure an effective delivery of assistance. Food is provided through our in-house food pantry service. Financial assistance, when it is available, is primarily to help with housing and utilities.

Financial support for this work comes from individuals, churches, Sunday school classes, local businesses and the United Way of West Ellis County.

We also need donations of food and nonfood items such as soap and laundry products, toothpaste, deodorant and personal-care items. Along with toilet tissue, diapers and cleaning products.

Linda Naizer is Executive Director.

Client hours are:

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Friday, 9 a.m. to noon                                                                                                                                                                The second Saturday of every month from 9 a.m.to 12 noon,  except Easter Saturday in April
