Unity & Now Forward

(formerly North Dallas Shared Ministries)

Now Forward is a joint project of over 50 religious communities of all denominations. It helps low-income people in its 20-zip code service area by providing a food pantry, medical and dental services, clothing closet, ESL classes, assistance in applying for benefits, and job counseling. Unity of Dallas volunteers will be trained to serve in all these areas, and we will conduct periodic food drives to help replenish the food pantry.

Members of our own congregation who find themselves in need of assistance are eligible to receive services, as are people who walk through our doors seeking assistance.

Gleaning for Groceries

Now Forward (one of our outreach partners formerly NDSM) launched the initiative "Gleaning for Groceries" among their Covenant Congregations to meet the increasing demand for food assistance. It is a super simple and not expensive way for us to be a better partner with them.
  1. While grocery shopping, pick up an extra can or two of soup or tuna or a box of pasta.
  2. Bring the groceries to the box in the Main Hallway.
  3. A volunteer will deliver the food to the Now Forward Food Pantry where it will help feed families who need food.
