AUSTIN STREET CENTRE

Church of the Annunciation in Lewisville has the privilege of providing dinner for homeless men, women, and children the first Thursday of each month at the Austin Street Centre.  We also assist in providing vital needs such as toiletries, clothing and blankets.

Since 1983, Austin Street Centre has been at the forefront of helping the homeless and poor of Dallas and surrounding areas. Now, a nationally recognized therapeutic community, we provide emergency shelter, food, showers, clothing, medications, counseling, and job training programs free of charge to those who come here.

More than 425 men, women and children receive safe shelter here each night. More than 100 participate in our highly effective step-up programs, including substance abuse counseling, psychotherapies, and psycho-social counseling.

Our ministry is unique in that we are a privately funded non-profit organization, accepting no government or United Way dollars from any level and thus providing all services to our clients at no cost to taxpayers. Each of our programs and services is provided free of charge to our clients, be it they stay for a day, a month or even years.

THIS MONTH AT AUSTIN STREET

Thursday, February 2, 2012

We are serving breakfast for dinner on Thursday, February 2nd at the Austin Street Centre and we need your help in providing at least 2 lbs of smoked sausage (such as Eckrich) cut into rings and then into quarters, and cooked biscuits and/or rolls.  We need about 60/80 lbs of sausage and about 400 biscuits and/or rolls.  Of course, we always need soft cookies and fruit.  


Please sign up on the sheet in the narthex and indicate how much you will be bringing so that we know if we will have enough or if we need to buy more.  Have the sausage to the church kitchen by 4:30 pm on Thursday, February 2nd and the biscuits and/or rolls and fruit and cookies by 5:30 pm.  


If you have any questions, call Pat Maguire at 972-436-7085 or 214-533-6841.
