It’s your support system,” Prescott said. “That’s the people that pick you up when you’re down, help you get through adversity, and I think there’s no better place than right here that just exemplifies that. People that obviously have had hardships in their life, and OurCalling does an amazing job of lending their hand out. Just to join hands with them and present my services and support, let everyone know here, I support them. ... They can always count on me to do my part in making this community better.” - Dak Prescott

The number of people experiencing homelessness in Dallas is growing at a faster rate than ever before. Our poverty rate is one of the fastest growing in the nation, and affordable housing has become extinct. We are committed to doing all that we can during this time to provide resources and necessities to our homeless friends.

RESOURCES — One of our ongoing and biggest needs is clothing and hygiene products. We offer these items, free of cost, to our homeless friends. If you are interested in giving, our donation center is located at our facility and is currently accepting donations. Thank you for your continued support and making sure our homeless friends have what they need. 👏

We are a team of volunteers motivated by the love of Christ. We build long-term relationships with friends on the street and guide them towards a relationship with Jesus. We work towards helping them realize their worth and inspire them to invest in their lives. #BetterTogether

World Series Champion Clayton Kershaw and his family made it a priority to provide aid to his hometown during the Texas winter storm. Thank you Clayton, Ellen and everyone at the Kershaw Foundation for supporting OurCalling. Your financial support allowed us to house, feed and provide long term assistance to over 1,000 homeless individuals displaced due to the storm.

Our hope here at OurCalling is to make others feel seen and loved. We exist to ensure that people know they are not alone. 💚

Did you know that our facility is equipped with on site laundry services? We are able to provide up to 10,000 loads of laundry per year for our homeless friends. Washing and drying laundry takes three hours, which gives our Care Ministers plenty of time to sit and build relationships with our homeless friends while they wait on their clothes to be cleaned. We do everything with intentionality at OurCalling! 💚

Access to healthy food is something most take for granted. At OurCalling, we are able to provide thousands of nutritional meals each week for our homeless community at only $1.25 per serving.

Our Search and Rescue Teams search all over the city for homeless friends. We offer the hope of Jesus, along with tangible ways to exit the street. 🙏

Thank you @cnn for this article highlight. This month, OurCalling App is delivering +170k referrals per day for people seeking help all across the country. Every download is helping someone gain access to resources and sustainable help. Here at OurCalling, we believe that we can do more when we do it TOGETHER!

We are so grateful to be one of the many organizations that @dallasmavs, @lukadoncic, @timmyjr10, @dewightpowell, @cyntgm, @mcuban, @mavsfoundation, @mavsoffcourt & @chime gave towards for Emergency Grants. This is the news we needed after a long hard 10 days of providing emergency inclement weather shelter for the Dallas homeless community, our staff, volunteers and partners were exhausted. We are encouraged and ready to continue this good work. It’s partnerships and generosity like this that allows OurCalling to be such a great resource for our city.

We are so excited to announce that our facility is OPEN and back to normal operations! Thank you for being patient with us as we were fixing the damages done by the Texas winter storm. We have missed you all and can’t wait to see you! 💚

When it became a life or death situation, OurCalling chose life. Opening an inclement weather shelter to provide our homeless neighbors a way out of the cold.

This has been our reality for the last 7 days. We may have tired eyes but extremely full hearts. There is only 48 hours left with all of our homeless friends in this building. We are currently working on an exit strategy to offer the most support for every single one of them moving forward into next week. We appreciate your ongoing prayer and contributions. We believe we are truly all better together.💚

Introducing the new OurCalling housing model…

|| OurCommunity ||

For over a decade, OurCalling has been serving our most vulnerable neighbors, the unsheltered homeless population. Now we look to change how they have been identified – from “unsheltered homeless population” to “neighbor”.

We are proud to announce that we have launched a $12,600,000 capital campaign geared towards purchasing and rehabbing a facility that we will transform into housing for the city’s most vulnerable men and women.

This housing facility, which will be located in Dallas, will be modeled after an assisted-living center with a wealth of wrap-around services available to its residents. These services include a full food service, medical and mental health treatment, counseling, job training, discipleship, and a community planner to ensure a fun and engaging environment for all our previously homeless residents to enjoy.

We began dreaming about this housing plan years ago. It has been in the heart and vision of our Founder, Pastor Wayne Walker. This housing plan is designed to give its residents more than just a space to live. It is a place to become healthy, and to grow in community; it is a place to relax and to play, to connect with vital physical health resources, and a place to experience and grow in faith.

When we turn the first key, and our first resident walks through the door, we envision that we will hear a deep exhale of relief as they enter into their forever home.
