About OurCalling
OurCalling, which provides the support services necessary for survival and recovery from a life on the streets, recently opened an innovative and inviting outreach center for Dallas’ unsheltered homeless community. The 32,000-square-foot downtown facility offers various unique and first-of-its-kind services to Dallas including: zero-barrier entry (no ID required), private locking shower rooms, publicly accessible toilets, laundry services, private counseling rooms, classrooms, a worship center, and, most importantly, space for training, educating, collaborating, and investing in long-term change.
OurCalling staff and volunteers annually visit thousands of remote homeless encampments across Dallas (under bridges, in woods, behind liquor stores), establish relationships with over 8,500 unsheltered men and women, and serve thousands of meals weekly to the homeless community.
The Dallas nonprofit has created innovative referral tools used by hundreds of nonprofits throughout Dallas County. Over the last few years, they have circulated 75,000 copies of a printed hand-held directory with hundreds of resources and organizations that actively help the homeless throughout the city. OurCalling also created a mobile app that has delivered a remarkable 500,000 referrals to homeless resources nationwide.
