For the past twenty-eight years, the Dinner Program for Homeless Women (DPHW) has offered services to homeless and poor men, women, and children. People from all walks of life have found at DPHW not just good meals and needed resources, but also a caring, supportive community. True to the grassroots spirit of our founding, the Dinner Program provides meals, resources, and support to people from all walks of life by bringing together the resources of the community. In the past year, DPHW has significantly expanded its services to better meet the needs of our clients, doubling the hours of program operation, adding emergency services for men as well as women, and introducing comprehensive social services for all of our clients. The combination of our years of experience with this spirit of innovation means that now, more than ever, the Dinner Program for Homeless Women is uniquely poised to serve those that need it most.
