Many of you will recall that this time last year I wrote a piece about Dallas' Austin Street Shelter.  The title was "Austin Street Shelter with Harry and Bubba."  It was an accounting of Patty's and my experience working there one evening, serving the residents dinner.

The Austin Street Shelter is a homeless shelter that has been so successful and such an exemplary model that it and its founder, The Reverend Beulah (Bubba) Dailey and her husband, The Reverend Harry Dailey have been written about in countless newspaper and magazine articles plus a biographical book.  The are both ordained priest in the Episcopal Church.  The shelter and its founders are anomalies.

I'd like to invite you to read my prior blog piece so you'll get some sense of the impact this mission has made on lives and the community of Dallas. ("Austin Street Shelter with Harry and Bubba"). 

The Austin Street Shelter has asked that all who can deliver a frozen turkey and the other traditional Christmas items to the shelter in time for their residents' Christmas dinner.  Volunteers to serve the Christmas meal will also be greatly appreciated.

If delivering your donations to the shelter is inconvenient, you may take them by any Dallas area Episcopal Church, and they will make certain they get there on time.

If you live outside of Dallas but would still like to help, you may send your check to Austin Street Shelter, 2929 Hickory Street, Dallas, Texas 75226-2123.

Thank you very much for your generosity, and Merry Christmas!
