A Word From Our President & CEO, Gary Godsey

With thousands of evacuees from the gulf coast in our region,
I want to assure you we will concentrate our efforts as a communication liaison for the community, a connector between those in need of support and those providing assistance, and a coordinator as requested by the local community.

As the relief efforts in our region continue, the American Red Cross will manage and oversee shelter operations, the Salvation Army will provide meals at all mass shelter locations, the North Texas Food Bank will provide food for meal preparation, and the Volunteer Center of North Texas
will coordinate volunteer placement for the relief effort.

Evacuees who arrive in Dallas individually should still call
2-1-1, the local information and referral telephone hotline for the latest shelter information.

Also, please feel free to contact Martha Blaine of the Community Council of Greater Dallas at 214.871.5065 if you have an urgent question about the broad relief effort across the Metroplex.

We will continue to monitor the aftermath and serve as a connector between those in need of support and those providing assistance.
