Children’s Programs–For Children Only?

We have a program every Sunday at a local motel we call the “Children’s” program.  It certainWe can all have fun togetherly started out as a children’s program.  We did crafts and played games with the children and had a great time.

After a while, some of the parents starting coming out to help us.  They quickly became some of our best, most helpful volunteers.  Then some residents who had no children at all started coming out and helping too.  Now it seems we have as many adults attending as children.  They dive right into the activities.  They love doing the crafts and want to play the games.  If we bring Play-Doh, they happily take their share and start creating.  If we bring Hidden Pictures, they jump right in and have a hilarious time.  Or, they just like to sit and talk to us.

I finally realized the adults wanted to be part of what we do.  We’re fun to be around and, they desperately need something to distract them from the realities of their hard lives for 5 minutes.  They love their children with a passion and they bear the burden of knowing it’s their responsibility to see their children have everything they need, when they know they can’t possibly provide it all.   They feel guilty, stressed and discouraged.

What We Do

While we don’t feel anyone can ever fully understand the motel situation, we believe we understand it better than most. To our knowledge we are the only local organization who is focusing their services solely on the homeless population living in residential motels and we’ve been doing it since 1996.

It’s a long haul from homelessness to home, so our programs “wraparound” the challenges. Our first objective is to ease the burdens of daily living for our clients by assisting with necessities most of us take for granted–food, clothing and hygiene items.

A tribute to our Founder

In 1986 doctors told Linda Dunlap she had 6 months to live and she told them the Lord knew more about that than they did. She said He had a lot more work for her to do. She proved herself and God right by living another 22 ministry-packed years.

Linda went into the motels singlehandedly with nothing more than her backpack and a few medical supplies. She won the confidence of people who had never had anyone care about them or help them before. Her belief and vision that one person can make a difference grew into 10,000 people being helped annually by Project Dignity.
