North Texas Giving Day September 21st

On Thursday, September 21, from 6 a.m. to midnight, Soul’s Harbor Homeless Shelter is participating in North Texas Giving Day. Every donation of $25 and above will be multiplied if you donate to us. Please click and provide your donor information. Your donation will go a long way in helping us provide the best substance abuse treatment for our men who are homeless in the Dallas area. Plus, we have an anonymous donor who will match gifts up to $15,000, thus making your dollar go even further. Just remember to get up and give on September 21 – whether out of bed, from your desk, or off your couch, just give.


Insights from a RN and Mother of a Recovering Addict

We are adding a series of articles from a Registered Nurse, Mrs. Cynthia Blair, to our website. She has been a nurse for over 45 years and her son who went through the Soul’s Harbor program many years ago. Her son is now over 9 years sober. Cynthia has a wealth of experience in substance abuse recovery and will be contributing periodically to our newsletter and website. Cynthia’s first full article is entitled “Coming Alongside a Prodigal, A Loved One’s Perspective”. The article talks about what a prodigal is, why prodigal resorts to addictive behavior and what we can do with a prodigal family member. This is a well written piece with some great advice.

Thank you, Mrs. Blair, for this excellent article.


We need your help…

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.
