Vision Statement:

Where there is hope, miracles can happen.

Mission Statement:

* To provide food and financial assistance for those in need throughout the community.
To be a community of families giving back, helping those in need. To show love and compassion, to give a hand up, not a handout. Wanting no family to lack the essentials such as food and clothing, as well as necessary services in order for them to be secure, safe and comfortable.

* To assist our schools in providing the supplies for children in need, that they may grow in knowledge and self-esteem, never having to feel that they are of less value, less loved, and to show they are an important part of our community.

* To work with our churches, schools, and the community, so that all of our families can walk in confidence, knowing that as a community we walk together, caring for one another as our brother's keeper.

* Galatians 6:2, Bear one another's burdens

In July 1965 the original founding members of the Diana area wanted to provide for those in need throughout the community.

These compassionate men and women formed the "Diana United Fund". They had a mission to provide food, clothing, and financial assistance throughout their community. This organization is still in existence today providing for those in need.

Red Coston was instrumental in starting the "Diana United Fund" from his "Little World Store" over 55 years ago. This non-profit organization has helped thousands of Diana residents with various financial needs. We are STILL in business doing the same thing along with a food pantry. In 2021 we acquired a permanent location at 1546 US Hwy 259

Volunteers are welcome and needed to maintain opening hours. If interested, or for more information, call: (903) 663-4040.
