The Dallas Alumnae Association Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, Inc. has selected the following worthy agencies as recipients of our Kappa Tablescapes 2011 event:


Brother Bill's Helping Hand

Brother Bill's Helping Hand enriches the lives of men, women and children in the community of West Dallas by empowering through learning, encouraging, through relationships, and ensuring the essentials of life. Tablescapes 2011 proceeds will be used to provide food purchased from the North Texas Food Bank for Brother Bill's Helping Hand Grocery Store Program.

Dwell With Dignity

Proceeds from Tablescapes 2011 will be used to fund Dwell With Dignity's RePurpose, ReStyle, ReCycle Program. The Dwell With Dignity team works with pre-approved community service agencies to provide and install home interiors for families moving from homelessness to more permanent housing.

Gamma Phi Scholarships

Proceeds from Tablescapes 2011 will endow scholarships for Kappa Kappa Gamma actives at SMU.


Interfaith Housing Coalition

Interfaith Housing Coalition provides transitional housing, programs and services to help Dallas-area families in poverty and homelessness. Proceeds from Tablescapes 2011 will fund part of the salary and benefits for the Intake Coordinator for two programs: the Home and Hope Program utilizes 50 apartments to house homeless families for 9-12 months in an accountability-based program, and the EQUIP program which aids families on the brink of homelessness.

Night OWLS (Out With Loving Sitters)

Tablescapes 2011 proceeds will fund a respite program for children with special needs and their siblings. Each child is paired with a loving sitter on the 1st and 3rd Friday nights of the month from 6-10pm. The complex needs of children with Down syndrome, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, cancer and the full spectrum of autism are met by the sitters and a trained nurse. The siblings also have one-on-one time with a sitter and enjoy a wide array of activities.

PDI - New Life 

The Prostitute Diversion Program (“PDI”) operates in conjunction with the Dallas Police Department, UT Southwestern, the City Attorney’s Office and various local churches and volunteer agencies. Proceeds from Tablescapes 2011 will fund the costs of a 45-day Homeward Bound Treatment Facility and two month Transitional Housing Program for two women.

ScholarShot

Tablescapes 2011 proceeds will help ScholarShot turn dropouts into degrees. This will fund scholarships for three to five at-risk students in either their first year of college or during a two-year Associate Degree at a community college.  They will be called the Kappa Scholars of ScholarShot.

Wipe Out Kids' Cancer

Wipe Out Kids' Cancer (WOKC) is a Dallas-based non-profit dedicated to raising awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research on a national basis. Proceeds from Tablescapes 2011 will fund 175 “Buddy Bags” to give to newly diagnosed pediatric cancer patients and their families to help them assimilate into life inside Children’s Medical Center, easing their transition from home to hospital.
