Support DAC this North Texas Giving Day!

Do you enjoy not being allowed to participate in social activities? Is forced isolation your favorite time ever? Do you like when people exclude you and make no effort to work with you? Of course not! No one does, especially not Deaf and hard-of-hearing people.

What causes are you passionate about? Do you want to ensure older Deaf folks have access to daily hot meals and companionship? Or are you passionate about helping young deaf and hard-of-hearing students prepare for the workforce? Maybe it's with accessible technology or in advocating for the rights of the deaf and hard of hearing community? Perhaps it's making sure Deaf families have access to safe and stable housing?

No matter where your passion lies, a gift to Deaf Action Center creates a positive change in the lives of deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Last year, we raised over $20,000 to purchase a new bus for our seniors. This year, we invite you to join the movement and help us reach our goal of raising $25,000 for our programs. We are grateful for your support, and thank you for standing with us. 

I started working here at the beginning of June, which is the best job I have ever worked. If you know me personally, you probably know that I sometimes struggle to fit into a social group. This has made it difficult to find a supportive work environment where I can do fulfilling work. I am happy that I found my job at the Deaf Action Center. My mama is hard-of-hearing, so I learned from a very young age some ways that the world does not accommodate and often excludes people. If you do not know me personally, imagine someone who is both queer and neurodivergent, and you get a picture of the kinds of things I have personally dealt with in the workplace. Add to that, and I know that my daily work is helping actual people. The Deaf Action Center makes a difference by equipping others, promoting understanding, and eliminating barriers.

Find your Passion. Give with Purpose.
