Investing in our team means investing in our mission.

Last week, our staff enjoyed a fun outing together focused on strengthening workplace community, building relationships, and creating space to connect outside of our day-to-day work. We are grateful for the opportunity to laugh, recharge, and celebrate the incredible people who make our work possible.

A special thank you to Round 2 Arcade for the games and fun, and to Cenzos for the great food and hospitality. Thank you for helping make it such a memorable time together!

Take a look at Grandma Linda’s story!

For the past five years, Grandma Linda has faithfully brought her grandchildren to Brother Bill’s Helping Hand summer camps. What began with her oldest grandchild, McKinley, at just five years old has now grown into a family tradition. McKinley, who is now aging out of the program, looks back fondly on her summers with us, while her younger siblings are just beginning their own camp journeys.

This past summer, Grandma Linda’s youngest, only four years old, attended his very first camp—continuing a relationship that began when our team first knew him as a newborn. In total, five of her grandchildren now participate, each finding their own joy and favorite activities. Her girls especially love the dance and cheer camp, while all of them eagerly anticipate the variety of programs offered each year.
Grandma Linda shares that her grandchildren “beg to come to camp” and that McKinley is heartbroken knowing she will soon be too old to attend. Over the years, our Youth & Children’s Program Director has built a deep relationship with the family, ensuring that each child feels welcomed, encouraged, and part of a caring community.

For Grandma Linda, our camps are more than summer activities—they are cherished experiences that bring joy, growth, and lasting memories for her grandchildren.

🙏Standing Together for Our Oak Cliff Neighbors 🫶

Our hearts are with the families and individuals affected by the devastating fire in Oak Cliff. During moments like these, our community’s strength shines brightest when we come together to support one another.

Brother Bill’s Helping Hand is honored to stand alongside Mission Oak Cliff in both prayer and action. We are praying for comfort, healing, and hope for every person impacted by this tragedy.

Tomorrow morning, Friday, May 29, our team will be delivering donated essential items to help families begin the difficult process of recovery. Every bottle of water, every blanket, every diaper, and every act of generosity reminds our neighbors that they are not alone.

We are grateful to everyone who has given, volunteered, prayed, and shared support. Your compassion is making a real difference.

Please join us in lifting these families up in prayer and continuing to support the relief efforts led by Mission Oak Cliff. Together, we can help bring hope and healing to our community.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the true meaning of courage, selflessness, and freedom. 🇺🇸

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we pause to reflect with gratitude for those who made it possible. We are forever thankful for the heroes who served and sacrificed for our nation.

What a beautiful way to close out our 5th year of After School programming!

This week was full of joy and celebration as we wrapped up an incredible school year together. At our final Fine Arts Night, our youngest students lit up the stage with their dance recital, and all of our students proudly recited Joshua 1:9 from memory and showed off the amazing artwork they’ve been creating this semester.

Yesterday, we celebrated the end of the year with character certificates, heartfelt peer shoutouts, pizza, bounce houses, obstacle courses, and LOTS of smiles and laughter.

We are so grateful for every student, family, staff member, volunteer, and supporter who has made these 5 years so sweet. Here’s to all the memories we’ve made and the many more to come!

Watch out summer, here we come!

We are beyond grateful and excited to announce the blessing of a $1 million grant from the State of Texas through the Texas Health and Human Services FQHC Incubator Program.

This is project-based funding that supports organizations working to expand services and improve access to care through Federally Qualified Health Centers and FQHC Look-Alikes. For Brother Bill’s, this grant represents a major investment in our vision to increase access to high-quality, affordable healthcare for our neighbors.

Through this support, we will continue building toward a stronger healthcare future for West Dallas — one where individuals and families can receive the care, resources, and support they need close to home.

We are deeply grateful to Texas Health and Human Services for investing in this important work and recognizing the need for expanded healthcare access in our community.

This is an exciting milestone for Brother Bill’s, our neighbors, and the future of community-based care in West Dallas.
