Impact Stories

At DINNER AT DADS, we believe in the power of community and compassion. Our mission is to provide nutritious meals to the homeless and low-income families in Crestview, Florida. Through our community meals, food donation drives, and volunteer opportunities, we strive to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most. One of our most inspiring stories is about a single mother named Lisa who, after losing her job, struggled to provide for her three children. Thanks to our community meals program, Lisa and her children were able to enjoy hot, nutritious meals while she worked to get back on her feet. Today, Lisa has a stable job and volunteers with us, giving back to the community that supported her in her time of need. Another powerful story comes from John, a homeless veteran who found hope and camaraderie through our services. By attending our meal programs and engaging with our volunteers, John found not only nourishment but also a sense of belonging and purpose. He has since secured housing and now mentors other veterans facing similar struggles. These stories are just a glimpse of the impact DINNER AT DADS has on our community. Each meal served, each donation received, and each volunteer hour contributed helps create a ripple effect of positive change. We are more than just a non-profit organization; we are a family dedicated to lifting up one another, because we all are family.
