Summary
Aug. 24 marks the public opening of the Greater Good Collective at 2603 S Cherry Lane in Fort Worth, expanding Presbyterian Night Shelter’s employment-focused social enterprises.
The site combines four operations—Greater Grounds coffeehouse, Greater Grab thrift store, Greater Goods boutique and Greater Give donation station—to generate revenue while funding programs and transitional jobs.
Presbyterian Night Shelter said the project is aimed especially at creating work for women and mothers pursuing self-sufficiency, while also adding a donation and shopping hub on Fort Worth’s west side.
Since 1984, the shelter has said it serves about 90% of Tarrant County’s homeless population, framing the collective as part of its broader strategy to link shelter, housing and employment.
