Volunteer

IMG_1009We need your hands to serve, your time and your skills! The homeless in Dallas need you to help distribute food, collect resources, teach a class or lend a hand. You could mentor an individual or help us minister to thousands throughout the year as we share the love of God on the streets.

  • Volunteer in one of our classes: Volunteers welcome people to the classes, help with distribution of class materials, serve coffee, engage in group discussions and serve the community as we teach life skills and Bible studies.
  • Mentor: Iron only sharpens iron – if it touches. Our mentoring program is like a “big brother / big sister” for adults. We facilitate one-on-one relationships and will connect you to someone who wants to discuss their situation and get your feedback. Mentors are required to attend an orientation meeting and will have regular contact with our mentor leader. IMAGE_055
  • Help distribute resources: As we engage the homeless living on the streets we distribute thousands of blankets, food items and personal hygiene kits. Often we will serve hundreds of people at a time, praying with individuals and sharing the love of God.
  • Help us collect items to distribute: It takes lots of phone calls, emails, and miles to collect the items that we distribute. Some come from partner agencies, local businesses, and churches. Every bag of clothes and pallet of goods need to be sorted, organized, stored and distributed.
  • Help us research homeless resources: We love to connect the dots. Those who need services, often can’t find those who offer those services. Rather than reinvent the wheel, we connect those who have service to those who need them.IMG_0662

God has given us an amazing opportunity to be the “light of the world and salt of the earth” in our own city. Jesus Christ used these words to describe our role. We have the greatest news that the world will ever hear – and we have the privilege to share it.

What will it take to get you off of the couch and spend an hour sitting and talking to someone who is starving to meet you? Being present is the first step at being part of the solution.

How would you like to serve?
