About GPUC

Mission

Sponsorship Program

Why We Exist

Grand Prairie United Charities Mission is to reduce food insecurity and provide emergency financial assistance for Grand Prairie Children and Families in need.


 Grand Prairie United Charities was founded in 1955 to meet the emergency needs of Grand Prairie residents who were experiencing financial setbacks. We believe that prompt intervention in the form of emergency assistance can ward off a potential crisis and prevent the family or individual from being without shelter, food or utilities. 


It's just stuff... until you don't have any

Why We Exist

Sponsorship Program

Why We Exist

Grand Prairie United Charities was founded to assist the needs of the community. Today, the agency is still going strong, feeding over 35,000 individuals, families, elderly and homeless children and assisting these residents with the basic, unmet needs such as food, utility assistance, rental/mortgage/shelter assistance, and an endless source of information and referrals. Our services help keep these adults, children and elderly from spiraling into hopeless situations. These programs widely affect the community as a whole, as a great percentage of those we assist give back to the community by volunteering their time to Grand Prairie United Charities. Our budgeting program gives our clients an opportunity to put their finances in check, as well as learn the basic processes of keeping and utilizing a budget, proving to have a lasting impact on our community.
