NDSM was established in 1983 by five North Dallas congregations to address the lack of social services for the indigent community in North Dallas. The theory was by combining resources – food, financial, and volunteers and operating in a secular manner – the basic needs of low-income persons, could be better addressed.
NDSM provides the following services at no cost to clients residing in 24 Dallas area zip codes.

NDSM's mission is carried out by 160 volunteers and staff of partnering entities. NDSM is also well prepared for the future by having a full organizational chart of each section with full descriptions of management and worker functions and a succession plan for key management.
In 2023, NDSM provided 117,000 children and adults with services valued at $7.4M, not including $750K in rent assistance advanced for DCW disabled clients without income or the 3.3M in tax refunds from the 2,246 federal income tax returns filed.
