This is an ideal place if you or someone else is experiencing homelessness . I have referred many…read moreindividuals here who have experienced unstable housing . The Bridge has multiple services which include bed/mat placement, case management , mental health services , kennel services , and much more . They accept individuals without identification. Like any other place , it is strongly advised to get here early to go through the intake process. Intake involves meeting with a case manager and getting setup with the system. A bridge ID will be provided for service coordination. It is extremely hard to get anyone on the phone for information and mailbox is usually full. There is a curfew time and meal setup is unclear. There is a donation box I utilize frequently in the staff parking lot . The homeless epidemic is growing at an alarming rate and The Bridge is playing a vital and essential role towards helping individuals in Dallas.

The Bridge is a haven and source of hope for the homeless population of Dallas. It offers a number…read moreof services including (but not limited to) housing, counseling and meals. It also allows those more fortunate a chance to "give back." The area of care I'm most familiar with is the meal service having volunteered there a few times. What I like about the program is that, in addition to feeding them, individuals are subject to a number of requirements. For instance, IDs are required for admittance. No food is allowed to leave the dining room, and so forth. Meal times are strictly enforced. And they serve three meals a day every day of the year. I've only worked on the serving line for supper a few times. The meals, though institutional, seem well balanced and nourishing. Volunteers are not allowed to sample the food. And speaking of volunteers, there's a continuing need which is filled by church groups, civic groups, school clubs and individuals. The evening meal, for instance, requires 8 - 10 volunteers and takes about an hour and a half of a persons time. Fenced parking is available. In a time of social and political polarization it is heartwarming to see folks of different backgrounds come together for the good of others.

Both of us were called to the office to be interrogated. We denied relationship and only confessed to friendship. Both her and me got banned for life. I came back, they recognized me and told me the ban was lifetime. Rather stupid, as they have a floor for couples with children.

Went here today for intake during the appropriate hours with my 7 year old daughter, the security…read moreguard was being racist and acting like he didn't want to let us in (yes Caucasian people need help too) , he spoke in a very aggressive and rude manner to where it even scared my daughter and she jumped when he started getting smart with me. I could tell my daughter was scared and I did not feel safe. I don't feel like this is a very safe place for children and I feel like it could be traumatic to have to be at this facility dealing with someone acting like they would harm you or your child if they had the chance or was careless enough. Or having to deal with being bullied by staff or even security (someone that's supposed to protect staff and members) I will be looking elsewhere and I pray for the safety of anyone that stays at Dallas life.

My husband and I love to thrift! While I understand this thrift store supports a great cause, the…read moreprices are very high. Like high enough that many things you can get on a sale rack, brand new. Also, they had a sales rack outside but then didn't want to honor the price. Another employee had to step in and say, "Yes, this is from the sales rack." The store is set up nice. It is easy to find great items, if you're willing to pay those prices.

Piling, stretched out collars, no deals here. Other items were on discount too, but the items were department store clearance at a small discount. Won't be back. You can get more for less at garage sales where they actually want to sell their items.
