Looking Forward...
Hope for the Future
The Need is Growing…
Each week we serve 100+ people on Thursday evening at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Everything we do is portable and we set up and tear down each week. Each week we provide food, clothes, haircuts, books, bible study, hygiene and love .
We have a small administrative office that is used for an address for grant applications and to help our Clients obtain personal documents and ID’s needed to apply for jobs.
We partner with :
Streetside Showers - provides showers and hygiene
Parkland Hospital - Mobile unit provides doctor care
Dallas County Health Department - provides vaccines and bug repellent
In the Years to Come...
Phase two of our vision is to have a Day Resource Center for the homeless and needy in our city. This permanent facility would include showers, laundry facilities, lockers, office and meeting space for case workers, counseling, support groups (AA, NA, etc.) and would be open throughout the week.
Together we can make this a reality.

Become a Needs List Warrior
Every week almost 100 volunteers work together to meet special needs for our clients. Weekly our clients sign up for special needs through our clothing closet. Items like shoes, clothes for a job interview or new job, a new coat in the winter, rain poncho, or new sleeping bag or blanket if theirs is soiled by the weather. Everything is closely monitored to ensure no one takes advantage of the system. One way you can help is simply by getting your name on the email list. Each Friday, after our Thursday night gathering, a new Needs List is emailed out and those that can help do.
