2026 Volunteer Application

Join Us for the 2026 Goodfellow Fund Season!

For more than a century, the Goodfellow Fund has helped Tarrant County children step into the holiday season with confidence by providing $100 in assistance for new clothing and shoes.

We could not do this work without our volunteers.

Each holiday season, volunteers give their time to help us prepare, organize, and distribute assistance to thousands of local children and families. Whether you have volunteered with Goodfellow before or are joining us for the first time, we would love to have you be part of the 2026 campaign.

Our goal this year is to serve approximately 6,750 Tarrant County children—and we need your help to make it happen!

Please complete the volunteer form below to let us know how you would like to get involved. Once volunteer opportunities and schedules are finalized, our team will follow up with additional details.

Thank you for helping Goodfellow continue a tradition of neighbors showing up for children and families in our community.
