SHAPE Center shares need for support to 'build back better' after fire damaged Third Ward hubHOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- SHAPE Community Center in Third Ward has created space for at least four generations, but after a devasting fire in January 2025, the building's leader tells ABC13 they need help to rebuild so it can serve generations more. Because what happened is that almost anything you can think of on a positive note goes on at SHAPE Center," Parker told ABC13's Melanie Lawson. "The pain, the thought of it not being SHAPE Center was painful. But that didn't last long because the community assured me that SHAPE Center will last forever." I want to be remembered as somebody who did all that I could do to make my community better today than it was yesterday and better tomorrow than it is today."
