All attendees must register below.
As you’re driving around Dallas, are your kids and grandkids asking you questions that you don’t know how to answer, such as:
- Why is that person on the street corner?
- Don’t they have a family to help them?
- Can we give them money? Something to eat? A car? A home?
Do you struggle with the answers to:
- What do we give?
- How do we pray?
- What should I say?
- Is it safe?
Come to this event to get answers to the questions that kids stump you with and practical tools for helping people in need. Best for children ages 12 and under and their parents and grandparents.
About OurCalling
OurCalling is a nonprofit ministry, founded in 2009, dedicated to serving the unsheltered homeless community in Dallas County. Our goal is to help our neighbors walk with Jesus and get off the streets into a healthy community. OurCalling operates a daytime outreach center that offers various unique services to Dallas’ homeless population, including a zero-barrier entry (no ID required), daily meals, showers, laundry, clothing services, and the opportunity to meet with Care Ministers who help individuals off the streets. OurCalling’s facility also brings in services provided by community partners such as Parkland, North Texas Food Bank, and the Veterans Association. OurCalling’s street outreach teams visit our unsheltered homeless neighbors where they are – under bridges, in the woods, behind abandoned buildings – building relationships and ministering to their tangible needs. Last year, OurCalling facilitated 1,359 placements that led to people exiting homelessness. Learn more at ourcalling.org.
About NCF North Texas
The National Christian Foundation of North Texas was formed in 2008 with the mission to serve and encourage givers to grow as faithful stewards who excel in giving to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The backbone of our giving ministry is our direct affiliation with the National Christian Foundation (NCF). Formed in 1982 by Larry Burkett, Ron Blue, and Terry Parker, NCF and its local affiliates have helped thousands of givers deliver more than $18 billion in grants to over 90,000 charities and ministries. This direct affiliation with NCF and other strategic ministry partners allows us to be much more than a provider of tools for giving. Our heart and real essence is a community of generous Christian givers from the North Texas area. Learn more at ncfgiving.com/northtexas.
