Our Friends Place is a brand dedicated to empowering young women in Dallas to break free from cycles of abuse, neglect, poverty, and homelessness. Since 1987, they have provided a stable home for over 500 young women, helping them build the skills and confidence necessary to avoid poverty and homelessness. As part of their program, residents participate in education or vocational programs, hold jobs, pay rent and save part of their earnings, while also attending weekly group sessions on life and job skills.

In 2017, they launched the innovative SOAR to Success program, which serves over 500 youth annually, partnering with schools and youth-serving agencies in North Texas to prevent homelessness. Their dedicated team, led by Executive Director Sue Thiers Hesseltine, is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of these young women, providing them with hope, support, and a path to success. You can support their cause by volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness
