Currently, the Mansfield Mission Center\u2019s thrift store and pantry \u2014 referred to as a food market \u2014 are at opposite sides of Mansfield, with the food pantry sitting on the other side of U.S. Route 287. The faith-based nonprofit rents the thrift store space and co-owns the food pantry building alongside the local YMCA.<\/p>\n
Mansfield Mission Center owns the land for the new campus, which will sit alongside its medical center, the Linda Nix Clinic. Centralizing the campuses eliminates any confusion for locals seeking services, said Stacia Miller, director of development for the nonprofit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main goal is to remove barriers for families so that they have one location to come to,\u201d Miller said. \u201cWe want to be able to position ourselves to grow our programs and be able to grow our reach, so that as the city and this area continues to grow, we have the capacity to have a little bit more space.\u201d<\/p>\n
The project is part of Mansfield Mission Center\u2019s fundraising campaign, which Miller said started Dec. 2. The nonprofit, which began serving residents within Mansfield ISD in 2013, aims to raise $7.5 million over the next three years.<\/p>\n
The campaign raised<\/a> more than $165,000 as of Jan. 6. The center\u2019s first major fundraising event is April 30, Miller said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to see the community come together and support this in a really fantastic way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The expansion coincides with growth both for the nonprofit and southeast Tarrant County.\u00a0<\/p>\n The center\u2019s food market went from providing food to 8,756 people in 2023 to 14,388 in 2025, according to data provided by the nonprofit.<\/p>\n At the Linda Nix Clinic, 1,227 people received medical care in 2025, compared to 700 in 2023. The thrift store, which Miller noted is the nonprofit\u2019s primary revenue source, also has seen consistent growth, including having more than 2,500 volunteers at the shop over the last year.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the city is expected to cross<\/a> 100,000 residents by 2028 and is currently in the process of building a major entertainment center and 100-acre nature preserve.<\/p>\n For Miller, Mansfield\u2019s growth necessitated the nonprofit\u2019s move to a more permanent space.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we\u2019re living true to our mission, then what we\u2019re doing by building everything together is empowering people with essential resources, and empowering our community to be able to join together to meet the need right where it\u2019s at,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s note: This story was updated on Jan. 7 at 5:40 p.m. to reflect the ownership of the nonprofit\u2019s food pantry location.<\/p>\n Ismael M.
