Operation Care Dallas was an overall successful event which hosted the nation’s largest Christmas party for the homeless at the Dallas Convention Center on Saturday, December 18th. This year, more than 11,000 homeless from shelters across the metroplex and indigent kids and their famillies attended, some lining up outside the Dallas Convention Center at dawn. At the event, over 3,000 volunteers served in various roles.
Our special guests, including our homeless veterans, received blankets, sleeping bags, coats and shoes, personal care items, a hot meal, gifts, makeovers, haircuts, entertainment and more. Invaluable resources such as job counseling, housing, medical and legal assistance were also available.
Our group unfortunately was not needed for the prep work originally scheduled on Saturday, December 11th, 2010 due to a great volunteer turnout earlier that morning! Praise God! Some of us were able to return on December 18th, 2010 for the actual Christmas party and assisted with the adults area. We were able to separate clothing and package them for women adults who may have been without during the Christmas season. We were blessed by the event to witness God moving within His people and to share it with others. This allowed us to partake in an event to celebrate Jesus’ birth as well as providing basic necessities to those less fortunate.
