Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex believes in taking care of our students! We provide school supplies to approximately 10,000 Arlington ISD students each year. We are grateful for the continued generosity of this community to help us support the children and youth in our schools so EVERY child can start school with the supplies they need. We could not do it without you. We believe that personal investment and follow-up are key components to providing these supplies. We keep in touch with these families through the year and respond when we can wherever there is a need. There are many other ways Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex takes care of our students: 1) Transportation for children who walk across busy streets to get to school; 2) Weekly afterschool programs, so that the students can find success in school and life. Mission Arlington / Mission Metroplex also provides (without charge) clothes for school, food, medical and dental care, sports programs, gym nights, carnivals, festivals, Thanksgiving support, internships, a Christmas store, and so much more – all to support the students in our community and their families. The needs of our students are evident all year round. If you would like to help, or if you know someone in need, please let us know. Tillie Burgin Executive Director Office: 210 W.
