27 years

Since 1997, Body & Soul has been serving fresh, hand-cooked meals and providing essential supplies, clothing, sincere fellowship, and uplifting gospel messages to people in downtown Dallas  experiencing homelessness. 

We follow the example our Lord and Savior set for us, and joyfully serve those who need the most help.

We fill a communal gap every weekend when hot meals and daily personal care needs are scarce for most of the unsheltered population of our community.

ecumenical

Body & Soul proudly partners with organizations of every kind to join us in our mission.

Ways To Get Involved




Equity statement:  Body & Soul Homelss Program proclaims the value of each person as a unique child of God, and we commit ourselves to the healing and wholeness of all persons. We value inclusion, diversity, equity, social justice and human rights. 

We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual. We recognize that homelessness is not just a lack of shelter, but a symptom of deeper societal inequities. Our commitment to equity is unwavering as we strive to serve those who are unhoused with compassion and respect.

We acknowledge that systemic barriers and institutional biases have historically marginalized certain communities, leading to disproportionate rates of homelessness among people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, and others. Our program is dedicated to dismantling these barriers and promoting racial, social, and economic equity.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, 

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, 

I was a stranger and you invited me in - Matthew 25:35
