Our Why
Founded in 2004 by Dr. Daniel Prescott III, Services of Hope is a Dallas-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing poverty, homelessness, and other hardships. Dr. Prescott's vision emphasizes a holistic approach encompassing food security, stable housing, and financial literacy as essential for long-term stability and success. Services of Hope empowers individuals to achieve self-sufficiency and dignity through multiple Dallas food pantries and partnerships with local grocery stores, providing nutritious options to combat food insecurity. Services of Hope also offers rental and utility assistance to prevent homelessness, along with financial literacy classes and personalized coaching to promote stability. Emergency financial aid is available for critical needs like mortgages and utilities. With a dedicated team committed to transparency and accountability, Services of Hope has garnered trust and support locally and beyond. Services of Hope's impactful efforts have positively influenced thousands in Dallas, providing vital assistance, encouragement, and hope to build a resilient community.
The mission of Services of Hope is to transform lives of low to moderate income families through wrap-around social, financial education/literacy, and workforce development services.
Services of Hope is dedicated to addressing the critical needs of low-income families in North Texas, particularly those in food deserts or facing mobility challenges due to disability or age. Many communities lack affordable access to fresh produce, exacerbating health disparities among vulnerable populations. To meet this urgent need, Services of Hope seeks to acquire a refrigerated truck for direct home delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables. This initiative aims to bypass transportation barriers and deliver nutritious options directly to those most in need. By improving access to healthy food, we empower families to make nutritious choices, enhancing overall health and wellness outcomes. Your support in raising funds for this refrigerated truck will directly impact underserved communities, promoting equity in access to vital nutrition. Together, we can combat food insecurity and foster a healthier future for all.
At Services of Hope, we're committed to addressing social impacts on low-income communities, particularly communities of color in North Texas. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are core values guiding our actions to build resilient communities. As a leading nonprofit in our field, we are dedicated to amplifying the voices, ideas, and solutions of individuals from North Texas's most vulnerable communities. We recognize the importance of including diverse voices in solving community challenges. We acknowledge historical exclusions, especially of people of color, and are dedicated to promoting equity across all our initiatives. Our goal is to dismantle barriers and biases that perpetuate exclusion, fostering an inclusive environment that values all perspectives. Through our programs and partnerships, we actively engage with underrepresented communities to co-create impactful solutions and ensure our organization reflects the diversity we serve.
