Our
History
Founded in the spring of 1988 by a group of Christian business
men, Central Dallas Ministries (CDM) began as a small storefront food
pantry for the poor. The organization's founders quickly revealed that hunger was a
symptom of deeper issues associated with poverty, and began thinking about how they could attack the
problems of poverty in a more comprehensive and systemic way.
Thanks to the early commitment and generosity of
our founders, particularly the
initiative of Dallas business leader Jim Sowell, CDM
has grown into an expansive community development organization with
a network of interlocking programs originating from many different
sites.
Offering a variety of programs throughout
Dallas as well as
San
Antonio, CDM is responding to poverty’s many expressions. For more information:
