in Denton that serve Lewisville resi- dents,” Feryan said. “So having a space here to provide services directly here in Lewisville kept coming up.” The organization aims to attract nonprofits, churches and civic organi- zations to a proposed 23,983-square- foot facility on Edmonds Lane. With multiple organizations being in close proximity at the center, nonprofits can work together and easily refer clients to other agencies, Feryan said. The need for a facility was deter- mined by a feasibility study, which was conducted last year. The study identified five of Lewisville residents’
top needs: adult health care; mental health care; rent and utility assistance; affordable child care; and food assis- tance.

Rental rates are skyrocketing,” Feryan said. The new nonprofit’s board will consist of five members: Feryan, Lewisville Council Member William Meridith, Serve Denton CEO Pat Smith and two community members, who
have yet to be named. “I grew up in a household with a family of six,” Meridith said. “There probably were times that we probably could have used these services that probably didn’t exist back when I was a kid, so it’s just a way for me to kind of bring this full circle and give back.” Seeing a need Social services are spread across town, making it difficult for those in need who may not have adequate transportation to access the resources they need, Feryan said.

Lewisville’s Neighborhood Services Coordinator Ashleigh Feryan will be one of Serve Lewisville’s inaugural board members. In her first role with the city as a grants specialist, she said local nonprofits repeatedly expressed a desire for a building in Lewisville that could house multiple organizations. “Not a lot of nonprofits actually are housed here in Lewisville; a lot are
