Join the Downtown Residents Council for an important Public Safety Community Meeting with Dallas City Council representatives and local public safety officials.

This is an opportunity for residents to hear updates, ask questions, voice concerns, and discuss ongoing public safety issues affecting our downtown neighborhoods — including crime, homelessness, traffic safety, code enforcement, and quality of life initiatives.

We encourage all residents, business owners, and stakeholders to attend and be part of the conversation as we work together to keep downtown Dallas safe, vibrant, and welcoming for everyone.

Your voice and participation matter. We hope to see you there.

Do you have a couple of hours each month to volunteer? We have an amazing opportunity just a few blocks away at The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center down on Corsicana near Farmers Market. They need volunteers in so many areas: Supervise the library for a few hours--this is a fabulous place for their guests to be able to read, be on a computer, relax. Or maybe you're artsy? Assist with setup and cleanup and help with art projects. Do you love animals? They have a dog kennel that houses 16 dogs and could use help playing with the dogs, keeping their kennels clean. Or you could serve breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Second Chance Cafe!

To volunteer go to https://www.bridgehrc.org/get-involved/volunteer/ and fill out the application.

And if you're interested in a tour of The Bridge let's get a group together. It would be during the business day. Comment if you're interested.

Support The Bridge by volunteering your time to help adults experiencing homelessness. Join us to create meaningful change in the Dallas community.
