MESSAGE FROM THE CEO God has been our sure compass throughout 2021. We are ending this year praising God for all our wonderful donors who continue to bless us through the sharing of their time, talents, and treasures.Your gifts are transforming lives and ending homelessness one person at a time. Over the past two years, the storms of life have rocked us backwards and forwards. Through it all, God has been our compass lighting our way as we continue to provide food, shelter, clothing, transportation, counseling, and rehabilitation services for His people. It is comforting during trying times to have the assurance and support of many people in the Dallas community, and that is a great encouragement to us.Your support allowed us to keep doing the ministry that God has called us to do. We realize our donors, volunteers and supporters are the true champions in our community, and we are just honored to serve on their behalf as further extension of their hands, feet, and heart as we minister to people. We praise God for all our faithful donors who have helped to shine light on our paths and encourage us through all the things that they do. Knowing God’s holy word is our compass and our supporters are lifting us up in prayer, we will be able to continue to minister to the last, the least, the lost and lonely. May God bless you. We wish you a Merry Christmas and joyous New Year! BRUCE BUTLER, CEO Chief Executive Officer
UGM DALLAS PROVIDES L I F E S AV I N G S H E LT E R The New Year brought below freezing temperatures that threatened the lives of the homeless living on the streets of Dallas. The team at UGM Dallas prepared in advance, coordinating with the City of Dallas, to open their doors and make extra room for those in need. There was an immediate outpouring of donations in the form of blankets, food, and money to help support the efforts to Shield the Homeless during the freezing temperatures. “Having a plan in place, our team quickly acted to make additional space available in our chapel area to accommodate the overflow of those seeking shelter,” noted Bruce Butler. If you are seeking ways to help our city’s most vulnerable individuals during cold winter weather, visit www.ugmdallas.org and donate today. As temperatures drop, we are in urgent need of warm clothing. Additional needs include: • Long sleeve shirts and pants for men, size XL to 3XL • Undergarments for men • Hats, gloves, scarves • Coats and jackets
