Opportunities to Get Involved

 

Community Dinners

Community dinners take place on our campus every Monday-Thursday evening at 6:00 PM. Members of the community are invited to provide a meal, cook a meal, or simply enjoy dinner with our residents. This nightly tradition began with Dismas House’s inception in 1974 and continues to serve as a powerful act of fellowship.
