A Fort Worth organization partnered with police to help a group of boys honor their mothers ahead of Mother's Day.
“We are training up these young men to be centered in character and integrity and we’re doing everything possible to ensure they’re successful in life,” he said.
Jimmy Pollozani, the owner of Café Republic, also happens to be a Fort Worth police officer. Not only did he open his doors to HOPE Farm for the event, but he called on fellow law enforcement to serve.“We want to foster the relationships that we currently have within our respected communities, and we also want to bridge those gaps,” Pollozani said. “It’s an honor for these officers to be here to actually have that opportunity to serve these kids and have a lasting effect on these kids.
Wilson said she is grateful for the dinner, and for the long-lasting impact she hopes this will have on her boys. “I hope that they learn to be kind people, that they’re good community members, great neighbors, that they love each other, that they love their friends, and really just great people,” she said. “Christ-centered men of integrity.”
