Project Dignity

serving the homeless with dignity, humility & love

Taking Time Off

Taking time off.  It doesn’t seem like something you should do if you’re truly committed to helping the homeless, right?  Wrong!!!  The absolutely worst thing you can do for yourself and your clients is to not allow yourself time off.  You are not a machine.  You are a normal, flesh and blood human being and just like that machine, you can break down if you don’t take care of yourself.

The cost to yourself isn’t just physical, although that can be pretty tiring in itself.  In the course of loving and serving your homeless friends you will see, hear and experience heartbreaking, unspeakably hard things.  Over time this has a cumulative effect.  If you don’t carve out some separate time for yourself to get away both physically and most importantly, mentally, you will implode.  No one was ever meant to keep just “going and going”.  You are not the Energizer Bunny.  Your batteries will definitely wear out.

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.
