Each week we provide food and clothing for those in need. Our Help Center is located directly across the street on Knobview Drive and is open Tuesdays from 9 AM – 12 PM & Wednesdays from 5 PM – 7 PM.

Room in the Inn

Every Tuesday between November 1^st and March 31^st our church family provides twenty-four homeless men a place to spend the night. We provide them dinner, a light breakfast, and a sack lunch as well as showing them God’s love.

We always welcome additional volunteer support. There are a number of ways you can help, including providing food, serving as an innkeeper, kitchen help, laundry service, and many more.

Pencil Partner

DCC has been a PENCIL Partner for McGavock Elementary School since 2011. We provide backpacks and school supplies for students, tutor students each week, provide encouragement for teachers, help the Parent/Teacher Organization, and offer free ESL classes for parents. About 90% of the students at MES are on free/reduced lunch and come from over 20 countries.

UPDATE (08/22/2023): The Community Dinner program is currently on pause due to construction at our facility. Dinners will resume when construction is complete.
