Since its founding in October 1975 to feed people on the streets downtown, The Stewpot has served more than 9 million meals. With strong support from donors, it has also grown to provide comprehensive services and a community of support for people experiencing poverty and homelessness, including programs that stabilize, house and enrich the lives of Dallas neighbors. These include helping people recover more than 113,000 vital ID documents to access services and employment, funding 233 four-year scholarships for college or vocational school since 1991 and helping provide housing for 377 people since its rapid rehousing program began in 2021.
Throughout this year, The Stewpot has celebrated its anniversary with events to engage the community in embracing and supporting those in need. The 50th anniversary theme, “50 Years of Loving Our Neighbors,” highlights The Stewpot’s long tradition of love in action.
