Everyday The Salvation Army is making an impact and helping the world become a little better by changing one life at a time. We can help by serving meals to the homeless individuals.

We will be serving lunch from 11:00 - 1:00 at the Salvation Army Carr P. Collins Social Service Center (across the street from Parkland Hospital). This location prepares and serves 1200 - 1400 meals daily and houses 400-500 individuals in four residential programs: Substance Abuse for Men & Women; Homeless Shelter for Men; Homeless Shelter for Women & Children and Domestic Violence Shelter. For more info about SA, please go to http://www.salvationarmydfw.org/

We understand that plans change, however please update your RSVP as soon as possible if your plans change. We need to allow time for others to sign up who may be interested. As of 1/1/2019, after two (2) no shows, you will need to contact the host before making your RSVP.

Please plan to arrive no later than 11:10 for the orientation!! Wear a ball cap if you don't want to wear a hair net.
