Who is NICA?

Serving Tarrant County since 1969

Located near Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards, NICA was established in 1969 to help serve our community by providing food, clothing, and self-help programs to families in the North side of Fort Worth and surrounding communities.

While the most pressing needs are met through our direct aid programs, our vision is to help families physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.

Providing a hand-up and not just a handout is our intention. Long-term goals are designed and met through case management, crisis counseling, employment, education, and community services. Our aim is to aid and empower people by either providing or linking them to opportunities that will assist them in getting back on their feet, strengthen their families, and ultimately strengthen their neighborhoods.

What do we do?

Help is our main goal!!

We strive to help our communities grow and prosper and we think the best way is to ensure our fellow neighbors are in a position to help others. This is why we aim towards long-term goals and offering a hand-up vs. a handout approach.

Our Food Pantry is dedicated to serving individuals and families in crisis within the Northside community of Fort Worth, Texas. We understand that unforeseen circumstances such as homelessness, job loss, medical emergencies, or disability can create significant challenges, which is why we are committed to providing essential support when it's needed most.

Operating hours: Monday - Friday, 9 am - 1 pm. Tuesdays, additional hours of 2 pm - 5 pm.

On the 4th Thursday of the month, NICA's food pantry is closed, but you can receive food and SNAP application assistance on-site from the Tarrant Area Food Bank RED Bus.

We proudly serve residents living within the following counties: Bosque, Cooke, Denton, Erath, Hamilton, Hill, Hood, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Parker, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise. Additionally, we extend our services to families referred by the Fort Worth Independent School District and agency referrals.

Our aim is to ensure that everyone in need receives the assistance they require, regardless of their circumstances. Whether you're facing housing instability, unemployment, health challenges, or are elderly or disabled, our doors are open to provide nourishment and support.

At the Food Pantry at Northside Inter-Community Agency, we believe that no one should go hungry or face adversity alone. We invite you to reach out to us for assistance, and together, we can work towards building a stronger, more resilient community.

For inquiries or assistance, please visit us during our operating hours or contact us at 817.626.1102 or info@nicaagency.org

 

Through Community Connections, we work to share education and resources with our neighbors.

Our Community Closet provides clothing items to NICA's guests, ensuring our friends in the community have neat, clean clothing for school and work. We're open twice a month, generally from 11 am - 1 pm on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. 

We regularly host educational and resource sessions to share information about important topics like healthcare, wellness, and tax preparation. Visit our Facebook page to view our monthly calendar.

Our Good Works program allows us honor the senior citizens in our community by providing additional resources and case management. This includes additional food opportunities, pet food, pet care, and seasonal needs. Contact us at info@nicaagency.org for more information.
