Nice! What a way to open!

🚨🚨TAKEOUT STARTS THIS WEEKEND!🚨🚨

We’re officially opening! Granted, not as we intended, but we roll with the punches.

🍕INTRODUCING VECTOR TO-GO🍺
Due to health and safety concerns regarding COVID-19, we’re going to be offering both food and beer as takeout on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays ONLY until we can open full time. This allows us to sanitize, let our staff hang out with their families, and brew even more beer for later.

All orders will be taken online 💻📱—link to come.

We will bring the food out to you with a smile—and a sticker to slap on your window if you want.

🧃🍻WHAT YOU CAN ORDER🥗🍕
Pizzas, salads, and some other goodies. Plus 16oz crowlers of beer—no growler fills for sanitary reasons. Be on the lookout for our Hoppy Meal, which will come with a surprise that will change each weekend.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend—from a safe distance—and showing you what we’ve been working so hard on. Stay healthy. Stay strong. Stay sane. We got this, Dallas. 🧼❤️

“These are attentive students learning practical lessons and sharing real-life examples. They want to learn English to feel a part of their community. So many have young children, and they don’t want to feel shut out. It’ a barrier for their children if they can’t participate. We are empowering these women to participate in their family’s lives and in their community more effectively.”

Keep Lake Highlands non-profits in mind on North Texas Giving Day!

I want to get real with you... we thought long and hard about participating in North Texas Giving Day this year. After the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Harvey, I wondered if it made sense. How can the rest of the Feed Lake Highlands team and I move forward as if it is business as usual? After much conversation and prayer, we realized that the aftermath of Harvey, much like that of Katrina, is just beginning and we must rise to meet the challenge.

After Katrina we learned that many people who came to Dallas for temporary refuge stayed here and made it their home. We expect the same pattern to repeat itself with Harvey. These folks have lost everything and will need our support. In anticipation of their arrival in Lake Highlands, we plan to expand our services in the following ways.

How We Are Preparing

1. Add a dedicated food distribution location a https://northtexasgivingday.org/npo/feed-lake-highlandst Audelia Manor
2. Add additional days of food distribution as demand requires at the New Room Community Center
3. Connect with Thurgood Marshall and Skyview elementary schools. We want to be sure that any children in need of educational support will get the opportunity to enroll in our Homework Club.

Increase Available Funds
Your gift of financial support will help us greet these individuals and families with the level of hospitality and love for which Lake Highlands is famous! North Texas Giving Day is a great way to have your gift go even further. Not only do we have donors who have committed matching funds to us totaling $11,000, but every donation made on North Texas Giving Day is also eligible for matching funds from the Communities Foundation of Texas. PLUS every dollar donated increases our odds of receiving bonus funds and/or prizes! You can schedule your gift through September 14th so don't delay!

https://northtexasgivingday.org/npo/feed-lake-highlands

Expanding Our Volunteer Base
Volunteering with Feed Lake Highlands can take many forms, including sitting with children and and helping with homework, tutoring in math and reading, collecting and organizing food for distribution days or giving administrative support. If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know! We will be hosting a volunteer information session on September 23rd from 9 am to noon at Lake Highlands United Methodist Church. We'd love to see you there.
