Current Needs and Upcoming Outreaches

    Needs:

    Refrigerated Truck Valued at $9,500 for Inspired Vision and Compassion Center which provides 1,300-1,800 families groceries per day, some of which, needs cooling.

    Muscle: Metropolitan Dream Center which is run by older women is in great need of volunteers who can help pick up items, lift items, and unload items. They serve the poorest of the poor in South Dallas and are in great need of help especially on Mondays and Tuesday.

    Cornerstone Baptist Churchis needing help with the following projects which could be a wonderful way to get our children helping:

    Packets to Go: Cornerstone Baptist Church feeds 1,000 homeless daily and need the following: Ziplock bags with three feet of toilet paper and a word of encouragement for the  homeless; ziplock bags with a plastic cutlery, a napkin and a word of encouragement; to-go plates. 

    Recent Successes:
    1. Through Farmers to Families: 1,000 food boxes were distributed at Cornerstone Baptist Church, 448 food boxes at Victory Outreach Church, and 100 food boxes at the Metropolitan Dream Center. Additionally, 3000 boxes of food were distributed through our local South Dallas Church partners totally 58,880 pounds of food! 
    2. 2,200 Meals were provided to children at low income apartment complexes.
    3. Five Fans were purchased for Inspired Vision and Compassion Center which provides between 1300-1800 families with groceries per day. They are unable to pay for their air conditioning so the fans have been very helpful.
    4. 75 volunteers were fed on Friday by the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas at the Inspired Vision and Compassion Center.
