Demand soars at Resource Center as the economy and hurricanes hit the poor

For the past twenty years, Central Dallas Ministries has operated one of the highest volume food pantries in North Texas . . . but we have never had a year like this one.

Last year, we served 27,636 unduplicated individuals and over 17,000 unduplicated families between January and August.

This year, those numbers have jumped to nearly 35,000 individuals (27% increase) and over 20,000 families (18% increase).

Although many generous donors -- including the Rees-Jones Foundation, the Highland Park Presbyterian Church and Watermark Community Church -- have provided generous support to help us secure more food, our pantry's shelves are still running low (see images below).

Every dollar that you donate helps us to secure seven (7) pounds of food -- enough for six meals!
