About Us

Programs Offered

We are committed to the health of our clients and volunteers. When White Rock Friends began serving the clients in 1992, we were one of the only hot meal programs in the Metro area open on weekends. To that end Friends has dedicated itself to providing quality meals, cleaning and personal hygiene product to the clients, free of charge.

General Store Products: We believe cleanliness is essential to healthy living. Many people living with HIV/AIDS have limited access to personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies. The General Store distributes personal care products (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) and household cleaning products (laundry detergent, bleach, dish soap, etc.) to clients of White Rock Friends. Donations are ALWAYS appreciated.

Saturday Meals Program: Many of our clients depend on community resources for food and meal assistance. Our first and third Saturday meals program provides much needed meals during weekends, when other agencies are closed. On the first and third Saturdays of the month from 10:00am-2:00pm, we serve as many as 130 people a warm lunch. Volunteers of the lunch program offer our clients encouragement and fellowship. We can always use extra hands to help prepare and serve, and to share God's love through this kitchen ministry.

Spiritual/Ministerial Counseling: Pastors are available to offer individual spiritual counseling and guidance.

Referral Network: White Rock Friends is part of the Dallas County AIDS Assistance Network. We can assist individuals in finding other organizations that offer case management, housing assistance, medical/dental care, education/prevention, children's services, transportation, legal assistance and mor
