Central Dallas MInistries, our new community partner

I'm pleased to share with you that we have partnered with another great Dallas area non-profit organization, Central Dallas Ministries, a faith-based organization focused on fighting poverty, to share the gift of sleep with a donation of 50 mattresses sets to several programs they run.  Transition Resource Action Center (TRAC) aims to improve the self-sufficiency of youth aging out of foster care; CityWalk@Akard is a model of affordable permanent housing which recently opened in a 15-story office tower in downtown Dallas; and Destination Home is a program providing rental assistance and other support to chronically homeless, disabled individuals transitioning into self sufficiency.  I was especially moved to learn from TRAC director Evy Kay Ritzen that one young lady had been sleeping on the floor for two months before she got her new mattress.  We are happy to provide comfort for those who need it most.  Read more about it here.
