The Stewpot is a community ministry of First Presbyterian Church of Dallas. Established in 1975, it began with a concerned group of church members who started preparing lunch for the congregation's homeless and hungry neighbors. By 1991, Stewpot programs included a wide range of social services, including casework services for those experiencing homelessness and programs for at-risk children and youth, and the agency moved across the street to a donated two story office building that continues to be “home.” Over the years, The Stewpot has helped to “birth” new organizations to meet community needs including Austin Street Center, Genesis Women's Shelter, Interfaith Housing and The Bridge.
The Stewpot - along with the FPC Day School, Encore Park, and the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas Foundation - represents First Presbyterian Church of Dallas' enduring commitment to its downtown Dallas location and its neighbors.
