Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The primary focus of our organization is to assist families and individuals with getting food. Hunger and food insecurity are major challenges for millions of people. This includes low income families, and the homeless. Food insecurity is running rampant. There's also a problem with people not knowing about other available resources to assist with needs they may have such as bill payments.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to provide meals, and resources to as many people in Dallas County as we can. Currently, we provide food boxes twice per month. We would like to be able to provide meals daily, as well as increase the number of people we serve. We also want to make sure we include seniors, and the homeless population. We'd like to have programs that address the specific needs of our different target groups.
Along with providing food, we also want to provide resources, We want to be able to let our families know where they can get help with utility bill payments, rent or mortgage assistance, and affordable health care.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategy is to learn as much as we can, share what we know, and to partner with other organizations. We are seeking out grantors, businesses, philanthropist, and individual donors who understand how great the needs are. And we're putting the word out in the community that we are here to help.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our organization has a dedicated Board, and dedicated volunteers. The passion for tackling hunger and food insecurity is greatest among our board members. We have board members who are connected to resources that are useful to our families. There's a shared urgency for reaching the goals we have set.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Our organization initially started with feeding the homeless. We distributed food once per month. In the past 6 months, we have opened a food pantry, that currently distributes food to multiple families twice per month. We served 17 families during our first outreach. We now have a consistent client list of 45-50 families. We also have families who were able to get their utility bills paid after we shared information about that resource.
