On August 17, 2023, Metrocrest Services kicked off a series of Grand Opening events, presented by H-E-B, with the largest red ribbon in agency history. But this was only the beginning of the party. On September 12, community members joined the Coppell, Farmers Branch, and Metrocrest Chambers of Commerce for a Housewarming Party and Joint Chamber Ribbon Cutting. Guests brought pantry items to stock the shelves and explored Metrocrest Services’ new home. To end the grand opening festivities, neighbors and community partners joined us for a day of fun, food, and community resources at the Community Picnic & Resource Fair, presented by Reliant Energy.

Grand Opening Ceremony

On Thursday, August  17, Metrocrest Services held its Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. A steady stream of excited supporters came together to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter for the organization.

Metrocrest, which provides hope through programs that lead to self-sufficiency and foster independence for low-income individuals, families, and seniors in Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell, and Dallas in Denton County, conducted a successful capital campaign to realize a 20-year-old dream of having a new facility.

Housewarming Party and Joint Chamber Ribbon Cutting

At Metrocrest Services, community support is more than just a concept; it’s a way of life. On Tuesday, September 12, 2023, we had the honor of hosting a Housewarming Party and Joint Chamber Ribbon Cutting event that exemplified the spirit of unity, compassion, and the power of coming together. This special day brought together not only our valued community members but also the Coppell, Farmers Branch, and Metrocrest chambers of commerce to celebrate Metrocrest Services’ new home—further strengthening the bonds that make our community thrive.

Community Picnic & Resource Fair brings neighbors together.

On a sunny Saturday, September 30, 2023, Metrocrest Services welcomed over 700 neighbors to celebrate its new home. The 2023 Community Picnic & Resource Fair was a testament to the unity and spirit of the community. The day was filled with laughter and smiles as friends and neighbors gathered together for a morning of fun, food, and education.

The event featured a petting zoo that delighted the little ones, face painting that turned everyone into a work of art, and a bounce house that had kids and adults bouncing with joy.
