We should commit to living our lives in such a way that a watching world would catch a glimpse of God's character - His love, justice, and mercy - through our words, actions, and behavior.

GLOWS is a coalition of agencies, churches, organizations and individuals working together to assist our unhoused and disadvantaged friends.
GLOWS provides safe, temporary overnight shelter to our unhoused friends during extremely cold weather in the winter time. We also partner with the Garland Salvation Army to provide a cooling station during extremely hot days.
GLOWS provides hot meals twice weekly at the Garland Salvation Army: lunch on Sundays from noon to 1 p.m., and dinner on Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
We sponsor Connect the Dots Roundtable meetings monthly to meet with leaders of various organizations who also help those less fortunate. The purpose of these meetings is to identify what resources are out there, add them to our ongoing resource list to provide to others who might need this information, discuss any problems or needs for assistance an organization might have, look for ways to help support each other, look for holes in assistance and organizations to take on filling those holes, and look for ways as a community to move forward in making a difference in poverty and homelessness.
GLOWS is a 501(c)(3) entity. 100% of your donation goes to assisting those in need. We have no paid employees; instead, we are fully volunteer run. Please help if you can!
