About GPUC

Mission

  

Grand Prairie United Charities is dedicated to partnering with our community to empower families with hope, food security, and emergency financial assistance.


 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


Grand Prairie United Charities was founded to assist the needs of the community. Today, the agency is still going strong, helping over 16,000 individuals annually.  Families, elderly and homeless...we assist these residents with the basic, unmet needs such as food, utility assistance, rental/mortgage/shelter assistance.  As well as 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.
