Super Bowl Sobriety
One of the many triggers for drinking or using is watching sports. During the entire football season, Soul’s Harbor entertained our men during the Dallas Cowboys football games. Our big party was last month’s Super Bowl – which by the way was the best Super Bowl ever, by going into overtime. Our guys enjoyed snacks, treats, and 3 big flat screen TVs without drinking alcoholic beverages or using drugs. A good time was had by all except for the Atlanta Falcons fans. Hopefully next year we can enjoy seeing the Dallas Cowboys play their way into the Super Bowl.
Foresters Financial…
lending a helping hand!
Last month, we had volunteers from Foresters Financial spend an afternoon with us. They were kind enough to put together a much-needed item on our Soul’s Harbor “Wish List”. Toiletry items for our residents. In fact, they were able to put together 175 bags containing items like soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, combs and other needed personal hygiene items. Thank you. Foresters Financial so much for spending the time and resources toward our men here at the harbor.
Soul’s Harbor homeless shelter is supported solely by our four thrift stores. You can donate your household items via phone (972-286-1940) or our “Household Donation Request Form” page.
We also take automobiles “Vehicle Donation Request Form“. So if you have old clothes, furniture, appliances, household items, or even a car to donate to Soul’s Harbor, either fill out our online form or call our dispatch office at 972-286-1940. Our dispatch office is open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We are sustained solely through our four thrift store sales.
We rely on your donated items to support our shelter. At Soul’s Harbor, we would like to thank all our customers that donate their items and also our thrift store customers. Because without our customers, there would be no Soul’s Harbor.
Thank you and God Bless.
