Aug. 14 – The Bridge Community Service Event

Homelessness continues to grow in Dallas. In May 2008, The Stewpot became the partner agency for meal services at The Bridge Homeless Assistance Center, just three blocks south of The Stewpot.

The dining room at The Bridge is called the Second Chance Café. The Stewpot is currently serving three meals a day, seven days a week to more than 700 people per meal with the assistance of over 1300 wonderful volunteers a month. Volunteers dish up a delicious nutritious meal prepared by The Second Chance Café kitchen staff served cafeteria style. Volunteers also pour beverages for guests once they are seated.

Serve lunch at The Bridge on Saturday, August 14, 2010. Lunch is served from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. Volunteers are asked to arrive at 11:00 am for orientation and preparation, wear closed toe shoes and leave purses and other personal items in locked cars.

The Bridge is located at 1818 Corsicana Street, Dallas, TX, 75201, just north of Interstate 30 and 2 blocks west of the Farmers Market. The Bridge parking lot is at the corner of Corsicana and St. Paul. Enter the gate accessible from the parking lot, turn to the right and enter the Dining Hall.

Space is limited for this service event. For more information or to volunteer for this event, please contact Lori Frigillana at service@djcc.us.
