The World Service Fund truly demonstrates the Mission of the United Methodist Church by supporting specific local church work with children, youth, students, persons who are mentally and physically challenged, adults and older persons; and providing leadership and coordination for denominational ministry with youth.

The Villages is an initiative to help our children and youth gain a global perspective and change lives in individual villages in Kenya, Costa Rica and right here in Grapevine.

Weekend Food is a program which provides children, who are on free lunch during the school week, a bag of supplemental food for the weekend. We provide lightweight, individually wrapped items that the children can prepare themselves.

DoughNation funds will also support The Well, a revitalizing ministry for women, and Youth Missions at home and abroad.

tzus & more

Enjoy i Fratelli on MONDAY JULY 15 and mention the DFW Tzus and More Rescue Group.  When you do, they’ll receive 15% back!  Applies for lunch or dinner at any of our 11 locations.  See http://ifratelli.net for menu, locations, and phone numbers.

DFW Tzus & More Rescue is a charitable, 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue and foster care organization based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex whose ultimate mission and duty is to match homeless Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apsos, and their furry friends with their ideal, loving, forever home, and give these homeless animals a second chance at a wonderful, new life that they so richly deserve. By working closely with local animal shelters, we hope to prevent the senseless euthanasia of these unfortunate stray or abandoned pets, which have ended up in shelters through no fault of their own.

Don’t you love that floppy ear?! This little cutie is named Larry Hagman! Check out more pics on the Tzus & More Facebook page.

 

Team up with i Fratelli to support Camp Sweeney on Monday 7/8

Posted on Posted on

Say “Camp Sweeney” on Monday, July 8 when you dine at any of our 11 i Fratelli locations.  When you do, they will receive 15% back for youth camper scholarships.

Kids learn to manage diabetes in a camp setting with activities galore.
Kids learn to manage diabetes in a camp setting with activities galore.

Camp Sweeney is a non-profit camp for kids with Type 1 Diabetes.  Each year, we serve approximately 850 campers, many of whom do not have the resources to pay for the $3,000.00 tuition for one three week camp session.  These funds would go towards camper scholarships, and nothing else.

When a child is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, his or her life is changed forever. Insulin injections, pump site changes, blood-sugar tests, and a diet plan become a part of the daily routine for a child with diabetes. Unfortunately, while many children know what is necessary to stay in good control of their condition, they find it hard to live the kind of regimented lifestyle which will allow them to live long and healthy lives.

At Camp Sweeney, we believe that simply teaching children about diabetes is just not enough. Our goal is that every child who attends our camp will not only learn about his or her condition, but will find the inner strength each day to do what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle.

Help Duck Team 6 rescue street dogs on June 24

Posted on Posted on

Mention Duck Team 6 with your order on Monday, June 24 and they will receive 15% back.  Fundraiser applies at all 11 of our locations, for carry out, delivery, or dine-in at i Fratelli Ristorante & Wine Bar.

Duck Team 6 is a group of friends who have experience rescuing dogs from the streets. We decided to work together as a team in hopes of being able to save more dogs.

Rescued dog Ivy needs a home
Rescued dog Ivy needs a home

We do what we can, but please know we cannot take in dogs that we capture.  DT6 is not a “rescue group” that fosters, boards, or shelters dogs.  However, we are a “capture team” that helps with the capture of elusive dogs and then works with those rescue groups to place a captured dog in a foster home, forever home or no-kill organization.

The street dogs tend to adjust really well once they are in a home environment; they just need a chance.  Thank you for helping them – these dogs are fending for themselves and they need our entire community’s help.

While working toward this goal, we engage in community service and humane education projects to help bring about “humanity championed by thought.” AAT relies solely on a dedicated group of volunteers to operate. If you are interested in joining us in any capacity you will find it a rewarding experience.
