Senior Source Distribution-DATE/TIME/VENUE CHANGE

Please join us at the Texins Fitness Center to board a Senior Source bus at 9:00 am.  We will assist The Senior Source organization in distributing small air conditioners to clients needing a way to keep their home cool and safe during the hot Dallas summer.  We will remain within the Concord Baptist Church and assist in getting fans into client cars as they arrive, if needed to do so. Afterwards, we will have lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense) and arrive back to the Texins Fitness Center around 1:30 pm.

Annual TI/TIAA Meals on Wheels Delivery

We are asked by TI to volunteer at their annual Meals on Wheels delivery event by forming a team(s) for the biggest TI volunteer event in 2022 on Giving Tuesday, December [TBA], 2020.  Because of our participation, TI has committed to deliver to about 1000 homebound clients of the Dallas County Visiting Nurse Association (VNA Meals on Wheels). The event begins in the Texins Fitness Center parking lot at 9:45 am. 

Faith & Grief Memorial Arch

The Faith & Grief Memorial Arch is a place of hope and comfort. The Arch provides people a place to remember loved ones each year during the December holidays in Dallas’ Klyde Warren Park. Attendees arriving to remember their loved ones who have died will write the name of their loved one on a ribbon and will tie the ribbon to the Arch as a symbol of remembrance. 

Texas Ramps Build

Have you ever changed a person’s life in a single day? The Texas Ramp Project does it hundreds of times a year! They build wheelchair ramps for disabled or elderly people who can’t afford to buy one. In a few hours in a morning, they give these folks the freedom to leave their home again—the home where they want to remain but whose steps have imprisoned them.
