We have the power to save our community’s most vulnerable individuals and give them a new, positive outlook on life. Who do we serve?

“Everything is Possible” says John Thielman, aka “Papa John”, ShareFest-Texas’s Founder. SFT’s mission is to provide hope where none exists while creating opportunities for the community to come together in service. There are many unmet needs within Arlington and through alliances with many different organizations, SFT identifies and works to close those gaps. These projects provide an opportunity for neighbors to come together to create real and lasting improvements within the community and in the lives of others. In working together, everything is possible. Learn more about who we serve below.

Are You a Student?

Our mission goes well beyond enabling youth to create a better tomorrow just for themselves. It teaches them to create a better world for others. Our primary focus is to identify the gaps left when other organizations step back and create initiatives that bring together our youth, neighbors and local businesses to close those gaps. In doing so, this fulfills the basic needs for those who cannot provide for themselves. We offer a variety of volunteer programs for students at all levels of education looking for opportunities to serve their communities.
