1,800 children woke up to books, toys, and pajamas on Christmas morning! Thank you to everyone who hosted a toy drive, made a donation, shopped our wish lists or spread the word — this would not be possible without YOUR help. We are so grateful for our supporters in DJF!
If you are out walking or driving and have the opportunity to donate, drop offs for items are available at our DJF members front porches.
Network is still collecting plastic and paper bags which are in high demand now. Please save your grocery bags and donate to make a difference in our food pantry operations.

Thanks to efforts of Publicity Chairman Carol Everett, the greater Dallas community has been able to read all about DJF in two publications. Mid-December, we appeared in print and online in Park Cities People dated January, 2021, although it came out mid-December. CultureMap Dallas also featured DJF in December. In addition, Jenna at DCAC gave a shout out to DJF when she was interviewed by NBC 5, and Marla Nunally was featured in a Facebook video with Hope’s Door.
We ended up selling 83 items which is an amazing amount considering this was a new experience for us all, due to the Covid. Two years ago in 2018, we sold 57 items so I would say that this is a win win!! Appreciate all those that participated.
Our total is $664.
Thank you! Thank you!!
I am so pleased to share with all of you that we are finishing out the year with a grand total of $14,848 for our EYG fund. These donations came from DJF members and outside donors. That amount also includes the $664 from the wreaths. Again, thank you for your generosity.
This is a reminder if you haven’t put in your orders for Mickman Wreath’s, please do so now!! There is still time if you hurry. DJF appreciates your support so much and the extra gift to yourself is that it will put you on Santa’s Nice List!!! If you have any questions or need any help please contact Kristin or Nancy. Their contact info is at the bottom of the page. December 12 is the last day to order. Ordering instructions are attached again for your convenience.

As a yearly tradition, the 4th Monday Hope’s Door cooking team makes snowmen ornaments for residents which they deliver with the November meal. Residents use them to help decorate their tree.
