OurCalling, a faith-based homeless organization, drove around Dallas to tell people about the city’s temporary weather shelter at Fair Park.
Near the camp, volunteers could be seen passing out food, water and firewood to people who live in the encampment.
Although people passing out resources mean well, Walker said, that can make it more difficult for him and his organization to get people safely off the street during freezing temperatures. About two weeks ago, when temperatures dipped below freezing in Dallas, Walker said, he learned that a woman with whom the organization had been building rapport had died from the cold.
While not every person he tries to help accepts it, Walker knows that each interaction can be a life saved. Wayne Walker , OurCalling's executive director and pastor, tells "Junior" about the incoming winter weather and asks if he needs a ride to the Fair Park shelter on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022, under I-45 in Dallas, TX. Icy conditions are forecasted overnight tonight into Thursday of this week.
