Late Friday afternoon, Resource Center Dallas sent out a news release, begging the community for help. It’s food pantry is “critically low.” Resource Center spokesman Rafael McDonnell told the Dallas Voice, the situation has gotten so dire, “We’re giving away Twizzlers because that’s all we’ve got.”

On average, Resource Center’s food pantry hands out seven tons of food to about 1900 HIV+ clients each week.

Donate CASH directly to the Resource Center….

You can donate cash online or in-person (2701 Reagan St). There’s no question, cash always goes the furthest. That way the center can buy exactly what it needs, and probably for cheaper than you can get it. Besides, you can write off a cash donation on your taxes.

Bring Donations to the Round-Up Saloon on Friday…

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence DFW have already organized a “Pack the Pantry” canned food drive. According to the Facebook Invite, “Please bring your nonperishable food items, gift cards (Kroger, Tom Thumb, Albertson’s or any you can provide). We will also accept cash as the Resource Center can make a dollar go much farther than a can of food. Let’s see if we can pack the pantry in 1 hour Friday night! Happy Pride!”

Keep your ears open for other opportunities

I’ve heard rumblings about other organizations that will be collecting this weekend. However, nothing else specifically confirmed.

If anyone else is organizing a drive, let me know.  I’d be happy to update this page!

Be careful who you give it to

Scammers will ALWAYS try to take advantage of situations like this. Don’t give cash to someone just because he says he’s collecting for the Resource Center. If you want to be certain, just donate directly. The need is there, but make sure your money goes to the right place before you give it away.
