This year marked another wonderful year for our Elves in Disguise Program! At the request of many Elves, who are all quite busy in December, the 2015 makeover was moved up two months. In collaboration with the Dallas Bar Association’s Community Involvement Committee, Elves in Disguise 2015 was held Saturday, October 24, 2015. Each year, volunteers at New Hope Foundation join together to bring joy and hope to one or more families with our Elves in Disguise “home makeover.” Elves in Disguise provides basic items many people may take for granted, such as a clean mattress with sheets and a bed frame or a dining room table or desk where the kids can do homework. Relieved of the burden of providing the basics, families are able to focus on achieving important milestones that can help them break the constraints of poverty.

We know it seems too hot to talk about “Coats,” but please keep us in mind as the weather cools. It’s almost time for our 4th Annual 1000 Coats for Hope coat drive. Last year we set another coat collection record with more than 3600 cold weather items. This year we hope to break last year’s amazing record and collect over 4000, starting Saturday, October 18 and ending Saturday, November 1. We need kids’ sizes more than anything, but all sizes will be accepted, new or gently used. If your group would like to be a collection point for coat drop offs in your neighborhood, let us know so we can add you to our website. Use the convenient online contact form or call Reverend Flowers at 214-942-6110 or 469-879-3238.     Click Here For More Information!

Please join us this year as we once again have a Back to School Supply Drive.

WHAT:   Back to School Supply Drive Activities Include The Following: Free back-to-school supplies WHILE THEY LAST; Free Food; Free Haircuts for Kids; Bounce House; Basketball; Drawings for Door Prize; Tours of the Empowerment Center. WHERE: The Empowerment Center at 2200 Zang Blvd., Dallas, TX 75224   Take I-35 South to Illinois. (This is 2 exits PAST  the Zang exit.)   Take a right on Illinois (heading west).  First light is Zang.   Turn right on Zang. We are the second building on the right. HOW YOU CAN HELP: There Are Three Easy Ways To Help: Bring new, unopened school supplies of any kind and join in the fun at the Empowerment Center, 2200 South Zang Blvd., Dallas, Texas 75224, from 10:00 am to noon; Donate cash or check (payable to New Hope Foundation) at the Empowerment Center on August 16, 2014 from 10:00 am to noon; or Donate Online to New Hope Foundation through Pay Pal (list the school supply drive in the ‘special notes’ section of the donation form). We’ll send you a receipt and make sure your entire donation goes to the Back to School Supply Drive.

Homeless For A Night

New Hope was honored to moderate Bishop Dunne Catholic School’s “Homeless For a Night” for its third year recently. Several public speakers told stories about the circumstances that led to their own homelessness. They encouraged students to stay in school, stay off drugs, and to continue to build on their existing foundations. Following questions and answers, about 100 students braved unusually cold temperatures to spend the night outside in boxes. Bishop Dunne Catholic School donated proceeds from the event to the SoupMobile, a local charity that serves almost 200,000 meals a year to people in need. View Photos From This Event
