Our Mission Statement: Many denominations of churches uniting to meet the needs of Irving’s homeless through clothing, hot meals, and spiritual guidance in order to demonstrate Christ’s love and compassion. We have 10 Churches that work together to feed the homeless and provide basic needs such as Hygiene, blankets, clothes, shoes and an occasional bus pass. We serve a hot meal every Thursday at First United Methodist Church in Downtown Irving. We have a schedule and each church feeds every other month. We serve an average of 45 people each Thursday. we have a winter event and a spring event which we give out clothing to Irving’s needy families as well.
