			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us once again as we partner with Operation Care Dallas and serve over 10,000 homeless men, women and children at the Dallas Convention Center.  Last year&#8217;s event included:</p>

<li>676 professions of faith, praise God for His compassion and mercy!</li>
<li>8,700 meals served by the Texas Baptist Men (37,000 drinks: Gatorade, bottled water and soft drinks were donated by Quaker Oats and the Texas Food Bank)</li>
<li>350 pallets of goods (blankets, shoes, coats, sleeping bags, clothing and personal care products: 24 pallets were trucked in from Pennsylvania)</li>
<li>Using 7 buses, 575 homeless guests were given free round-trip transportation  from Fort Worth, Arlington, Irving and North Dallas.</li>
