For only 73 cents, we can give a family a cart of groceries! Every dollar counts!
Inspired Vision Compassion Center (IVCC) provides groceries to 1800-2000 families per day, five days a week. Our volume allows us to provide fresh vegetables and healthy eating options rather than canned food to our clients. We do not have geographical restrictions or waiting periods. People who come for food will receive food the same day no matter where they live.
Our Free Grocery Store includes but is not limited to: fresh produce, bread, dairy, meat and assorted groceries (which shift depending on donations available); furniture, clothing; and the following items upon request and availability: pet food. bottles, formula, diapers, car seats, home medical equipment (e.g. shower chairs, wheelchairs, blood pressure cuffs, blood sugar monitors, walkers and crutches).

We partner with Parkland to provide health screenings for adults and virtual medical office visits, with LifeSavers Foundation to provide pediatric health care, sonograms, and pregnancy testing, with South Dallas Employment Project to provide job training, employment assistance, and help with getting IDs, with Metrocare to provide counseling and mental health referrals.

Our Motto: With your help, at IVCC Everyone Eats!
Our Needs
All of our food and supplies are donated but we have to pay for trucking to bring the items to our location in the South East area of Dallas. We are also working to pay off the mortgage on our current location and complete additional renovations to be able to expand our services.
We are primarily supported by individuals like you who see the need in our community and give. Thank you for being a part of our mission to improve the lives of those in need.
#IVCC #EveryoneEats
Our mission is to change the mental, emotional, and educational brokenness in our community and stop the cycle of poverty in the City of Dallas, and surrounding areas. We strive to be a transformative organization that helps reshape our community into one that rises above the inequities that have trapped families in poverty for generations.
We transform lives in our community through prayer, mentoring, educating and supporting families in crisis.
