How Do We Help The , Homeless in Dallas
We meet people exactly where they are through three core programs that address both immediate needs and long-term transformation. Our approach combines practical help with genuine relationship—because true change happens when people know they matter.
Mobile Drive Thru
On the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month, our Drive-Thru food distribution serves families and individuals across underserved Dallas neighborhoods. Anyone can either drive through or walk up to one of our two different locations to receive fresh groceries, hot meals, and essential supplies without barriers or judgment.
This accessible format ensures that those with or without transportation can receive help with dignity. Our volunteer teams create a welcoming atmosphere while efficiently distributing food to those who need it most throughout the year.
Community Hygiene Party Assembly
Our Hygiene Parties bring volunteers together to assemble thousands of personal care kits in a single day. These community events transform an assembly line into a celebration of service, with music, fellowship, and purpose driving every packed item.
Each hygiene kit represents the restoration of dignity that comes with being clean and cared for. The kits contain essentials like soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, deodorant, and feminine products—items that help prevent illness and restore self-respect for those living on the streets.
Direct Homeless Outreach
Our street outreach teams go directly to encampments, bridges, and sidewalks where our homeless neighbors live. These weekly connections build trust as volunteers distribute food, blankets, clothing, and hygiene kits to those often overlooked by society.
We believe transformation begins with relationship, not just resources. By returning consistently to the same locations, we become a reliable presence of care and connection, opening doors to deeper conversations about recovery, housing, and hope for the future.
