BEDS FOR KIDS
The objective of the center is to give disadvantaged children the opportunity to get a good night’s sleep by providing new twin or full bed sets.
To qualify, a family must complete an application and show proof of income (if any) and residency, provide a valid birth certificate for each child, and meet federal poverty guideline requirements. After the application has been processed and approved. The family will be issued a ticket to pick up their mattress set at the foundation warehouse distribution days.

SOUTH DALLAS COMMUNITY CLOTHING AND RESOURCE CENTER & NORTH TEXAS FURNITURE BANK
The South Dallas Community Clothing & Resource Center opened in 2005 to meet the growing demand from local low-income families for clothing, hygiene products, household items, appliances and furniture. In this locale, the majority of families face periods of unemployment and other hardships, struggling on a daily basis. The median income for the families we serve is less than $13,000 a year.
MATTRESS AGENCY/CRISIS ASSISTANCE
The center’s main objective is to provide basic necessities for families who could not otherwise afford them.
To receive assistance, each family must meet certain qualifications. Clients must provide proof of income and residence as well as a Social Security card and birth certificate for each family member. They must also meet the current Texas Commodity Assistance Program (TEXCAP) income requirements.
The S.M. Wright Mattress Agency provides emergency assistance to families who lost possessions in a natural disaster, or home fire.
Starting life over in a new environment is difficult; the agency provides full or queen sets to families who are qualified to receive emergency assistance.
We partner with nonprofits throughout North Texas to tackle the overall community caseload caused by these unfortunate events.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
South Dallas was the birthplace for the Legendary Dallas Civic Leader The Late Dr. S.M. Wright Sr. The Wright Family for over 66 years continues the legacy by supporting families living in South Dallas. The S.M. Wright Community Support Program helps provide scholarships to high school seniors in South Dallas pursuing higher education in college. Many students in the South Dallas community lack good study skills, access to computers, and the availability of help with their homework and test taking skills. The Wright Foundation Community Support program provides support to community education programs to schools/organizations that’s focused on Pre-K to high school students within the South Dallas Community. The goal of the program is to raise both academic expectations and achievements.
