About

Transform Dallas began in 1998 under the name Celebration of Hope. This workday allows volunteers from within DLF neighborhoods to partner with organizations like Hamilton Park UMC, Prestoncrest Church of Christ, Highland Park Presbyterian Church, Gateway Church, Primera Iglesia Bautisata, and Christ Community Church to bring much-needed improvements to their community. Areas of work include landscaping yards, painting homes, cleaning alleyways, installing ring security cameras, and assembling and delivering care packages. Ultimately, this program improves the quality of life for elderly and low-income neighbors across the City of Dallas. This one-day event will include volunteers from different backgrounds working together on multiple projects throughout Dallas.

Transform Dallas 2024

Thanks to the collaboration of our neighborhood leaders in Owenwood, Hamilton Park, Wynnewood Heights, and the Historical 10th Street District, we were able to serve 750 community members. Transform Dallas would not have happen without Home Depot who provided volunteers and funding for the event and Texas Instruments, and Behr Paint who supported the event as well. This type of community effort inspires hope and a sense of pride in our neighborhood partners.
