About The Charities
The Samaritan Inn
From their website: "The Samaritan Inn was established in 1984 after community leaders joined together to address the issue of homelessness in Collin County. Twenty five years later, The Samaritan Inn is still the largest homeless program in a county of over 762,000 residents.
All services and support are provided free of charge through funding made from donations by churches, service groups and organizations, corporations and individuals. The Samaritan Inn is also a member of the United Way of Collin County."
The Assistance League
From their website: "Unlike most national charities, our focus is on local chapter needs first. Assistance League actually helps our volunteers realize their vision for their communities. And all funds they raise stay in those individual communities. So their dreams become our dreams. And together, across 120 linked chapters, we help people in need achieve a better quality of life."
Bridge the Gap
From their website: "A chamber music initiative out of Dallas, Texas, Bridge the Gap Chamber Players strive to make chamber music accessible to everyone in North Texas by connecting independent music ensembles with the community at large. By organizing free shows at diverse venues and educational programs at Dallas area schools and local establishments, we believe that we can increase the approachability and popularity of chamber music to those who would not typically seek it out themselves."
Citizens Development Center
From their website: "Citizens Development Center (CDC) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit work training center and employment placement organization for adults with intellectual, mental health and/or physical disabilities (clients) living in Dallas and surrounding areas.
Serving more than 400 individuals annually, our Work Center Program and Employment Placement Program are administered at our 30,000 square-foot facility on Ambassador Row in Dallas, Texas. You can read more about each program below."
