TULSA
We’ve served more than 100,000 meals in Tulsa. Our record for a single outreach is 260 people (Aug. 25, 2017).
We perform an outreach on Fridays over lunch using a church parking lot downtown. This usually lasts about 30 minutes.
DENVER
We’ve served more than 43,000 meals in Denver. The startup money for our lunches in Denver (about $800) came from offerings given by the homeless & needy in Tulsa.
We typically hit the streets 6 times per month in Denver. Outreaches last about an hour. Opportunities to serve are available on Wednesdays & Saturdays.
DALLAS
We’ve now served more than 31,000 meals in the Metroplex. We typically do 3-4 outreaches downtown each month on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Our first outreach was on Aug. 4, 2012, when we served 60 lunches downtown. Our first four sack lunches went to a lady (Kendra) & her three daughters.

This is our latest expansion endeavor. This work began in 2017 and is funded through our founding organization, Filling The Void Inc.
