The Stewpot, a Dallas-based mission of First Presbyterian Church of Dallas serving people experiencing hardship or homelessness, celebrates 50 years of impact in 2025 with events to engage the community in embracing and supporting those in need. The 50th anniversary theme, “50 Years of Loving Our Neighbors,” highlights The Stewpot’s long tradition of love in action.
The Stewpot’s 50th anniversary celebration includes a partnership with Galleria Dallas to feature the work of The Stewpot on its Gallery Wall and Art Window throughout January on Level 1.
Two community events were held on January 18 at Galleria Dallas. Visitors talked with artists from The Stewpot Art Program about their works and watched The Stewpot’s friends from The Dallas Street Choir perform near its Gallery Wall. At the same time, a pop-up “Love Your Neighbor” volunteer activity took place near the Play Place. Families helped assemble hundreds of hygiene kits for neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Since its founding in 1975 to feed people on the streets downtown, The Stewpot has served more than 8.7 million meals and continues to provide comprehensive services and a community of support for those in need.
