The Celebration for the Homeless is design to affirm and encourage our homeless brother and sisters in the Dallas area. We have brought together various agencies and ministries that provide services to the homeless in the hope that they will receive a hand up, not just a handout.  We also hope this event will serve as a reminder of the plight of the homeless and spur them to action.

All year round we are collecting Coats, Hats, Blankets, Gloves, Rain Gear, Toiletries, Soaps, Shampoo, Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Razors, Shaving Cream, Hand Sanitizer, Band Aids, Foot Powder, Lip Balm, Hand Lotion, and Zip lock bags  from difference Companies, Organization, Friends and Families for our fall give away

Throughout the year, (C.H.I.P) hosts many fundraising and cultivation events to benefit the community of hope program

The Graduate Services Department has been developed to support program graduates in their effort to successfully transition into mainstream society. To be considered in (C.H.I.P) program graduate, individuals must secure full time employment, achieve independent housing, and maintain a drug and alcohol free lifestyle.

Graduates meet with their Graduate Services Advisors individually two times per month. Additionally, Graduate Services Advisors conduct home visits, serve as liaisons with employer partners, and facilitate monthly meetings where graduates have the opportunity to share their experiences with fellow graduates, and gain valuable information provided by guest speakers on topics such as relapse prevention, health, etc, education, and career advancement.

Following the, graduates are strongly encouraged to continue to keep in touch with the Graduate Services Department. Graduate Services is available to assist (C.H.I.P) job program graduates with a variety of services including:

• Assistance as needed to obtain new housing and/or new employment
• Onsite GED/ABE and computer classes
• Relapse Prevention, NA, AA, etc.
• Job Training on-site and off-site
• Participation in alumni events

All graduates that successfully maintain employment, housing, and sobriety are eligible for a $1,000 grant. This grant is paid over a 5-month period in installments of $200. In conjunction with the grant, those graduates who maintain their employment, housing, and sobriety every three months receive special recognition at our Graduate Services or Quarterly Dinners, where family and friends are welcome to participate in this celebration of graduates’ accomplishments.

Every July, the Graduate Services Department sponsors an annual Alumni Family Day Summer Picnic. This event provides an opportunity for graduates to re-establish relationships with the friends they made in the program and build relationships with newer graduates for a lifetime.
