Christmas Dinner
December 19, 2023  

What a great time we had during Gideon Group of North Texas, Christmas Dinner, for our unhoused friends. What a blessing to be able to be a part of something so selfless. We were able to feed over 80 men, women, and children a hot meal at Golden Corral at their Eastgate location.

A loud shout-out to all our volunteers who gave their time and energy to make this a dinner a success. A tremendous applause to the amazing managers Laura and Calvin who said "Yes" to this particular population were others would otherwise turn away. Thank you!

COPE: The Cost of Poverty Experience

Saturday November 6, 2021

What is the cost of poverty experience?

1 in 5 children in America live at or below the poverty line. These numbers should disturb us, yet statistics can have a numbing affect. The Cost of Poverty Experience (COPE) is a 2.5 hour immersive experience that offers you an opportunity to gain a glimpse into the lives of families in our communities who face poverty every day.
