*Fort Worth News
July Update:
As we explore options for a new place to serve we are also looking for compassionate people to join our leadership team.
We are looking for a charity partner outside of Fort Worth so you must be willing to travel a little bit on our Chicktime Saturday…which is only once a month so very doable! Contact Sandi for more information at sbothum@gmail.com
January Update:
Kristi was our workshop leader today at Clearfork, and she taught the girls to make ocean bottles.
The stones on the bottom represent our burdens that we are releasing. The smaller beads represent those small irritations. And the cork represents us learning to rise above.
Such a powerful lesson!

I can’t think of a better day than Valentine’s Day to show up and show love. Chicktime Fort Worth shared love with the children at ACH Family Services Youth Emergency Shelter with a drop-off workshop including pizza and drinks., decorate your own sugar cookie kits (heart-shaped, of course) and a fun craft activity. Thank you so much to our generous donors for making this possible. We hope to be in- person next mont for a Great Green Get-Together, so stay tuned!!
November Update:
About tonight. It’s been exactly 2 long years but we were able to spend time with our charity partner kids at the SafeHaven of Tarrant County‘s Holiday party for the clients of the housing group who are re-entering back into independent living.
This was co-leader Jana‘s first in-person event and she did a fantastic job facilitating. Thank you to our volunteers for having the heart to come out tonight. #chicktimefortworth #enddomesticviolence #christmasiscoming

May Update:
How we spent this past Sunday afternoon. Our virtual workshop leader had to reschedule for a different month and still no in-person workshops are allowed with our charity partner.
Since we completed our vaccinations weeks ago and hadn’t seen each other in-person for months, we stepped out on faith and met up at Sandi’s house to create origami activity packs for the kiddos at SafeHaven of Tarrant County SafeLiving group.
Thank you Sandi for the great idea and opening your home for our fellowship. #lovingourcharitypartner
April Update:
After a year+ of drop-off workshops due to COVID-19 restictions, we were able to host our first virtual workshop with the SafeLiving Housing group at SafeHaven of Tarrant CountyLisa Albert led today’s workshop sharing knowledge on Self Defense as well as her own personal story as a survivor. She was awesome today as she transformed a standard in-person into an interactive and informative virtual workshop with the assistance of our co-leader Sandi. Great teamwork ladies. I know the attendees, the SafeHaven leadership team as well as Janaand I appreciate your time and commitment. I can’t wait to see what we have in the works virtually for the May workshop
Stay tuned Chicktime Fort Worth; we’re Baack!
February Update:
February dropoff workshop complete. Sending valentine’s day love to the 112 children residents of the SafeLiving shelter. They will be able to create their own custom valentines for their loved ones with a little something sweet to go along with the card.
Once again, Janaknocked it out the park with this craft idea. Are you interested in how you can get involved with leading a workshop and showing the kiddos that someone is thinking of them and they are loved?

Hello Chicktime Fort Worth,
As a reminder, due to COVID-19 we are still unable to serve with Safehaven for in-person workshops but they are still in need of our help. Here are 2 opportunities for us to still be a blessing to our charity partner and provide support. If you are able to assist with one need or both, please know that your kindness and generosity are appreciated so much at this time.
Thank you in advance,
Denise and Jana

August Update:
Chicktime Fort Worth, due to a generous monetary donation that they received, were able to bless the Independent Living Housing team staff with much needed pamper kits.
The staff has worked tirelessly during this season without the much needed assistance of volunteers to make certain that their client needs are met so we wanted to do a little something special for them.
Chicktime Fort Worth showing #unstoppable love by donating things on their Charity Partner’s needs list. I love the story on their facebook page about the couple intrigued with their purchases when in line at the store and when told about Chicktime and Chicktime Fort Worth’s partnership with SafeHaven donated 40.00 dollars to help cover the cost!
