About Friendship House
Friendship House, a relief ministry sponsored by First Baptist Church of Garland, in conjunction with local churches and community organizations, was organized in 1977 to help meet the physical needs of those who were out of work, physically disabled, or low income for a variety of reasons and circumstances. With the help of many volunteers, it reaches out to as many as 175 families per week.
Friendship House Policies
The Friendship House is now open. We have implemented safety procedures for our clients and volunteers and will be offering certain services on specific days while keeping everyone as safe as possible. The hours of operation vary each day depending on services offered that day.
