ABOUT 

LA FAMILIA DE ESPERANZA

MISSION

La Familia De Esperanza is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual support in North Texas communities to underserved youth and their families.​

about

La Familia De Esperanza’s Founder Courtney Jones spent years volunteering with various organizations to help meet the needs of underserved families within Texas. Through her work within the public school system, as both a teacher and mentor, she became keenly aware of the needs of the youth she worked with.

 

When COVID-19 rocked our worlds, the imminent need to start a non-profit organization that enabled her to pull together her various resources became evident and La Familia De Esperanza was born. LFDE is a non-profit that is focused on establishing lasting relationships within the communities we serve. These lasting relationships will help families, neighborhoods, and communities grow in their physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual well-being.
