ABOUT US

Altrusa International, Inc. of Downtown Dallas raises money to support local community organizations through donations, the sale of European style gourmet chocolates and our annual Dessert First gala.  Our focus is on helping women and children in the Dallas Metroplex and our inspiration is “Educating Families for a Better Future.”   Since 1982 our members have performed over 70,000 hours of community service and raised over $600,000, all due to the generosity and compassion of contributors like you.

This year Altrusa has selected Friends of Wednesday's Child to be the primary beneficiary of Dessert First.  Wednesday's Child helps children in foster care. 

Some of the organizations that we have helped over the past three decades include: Association for Independent Living, Attitudes & Attire, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, Dallas Community Lighthouse, Family Gateway, Genesis Women’s Shelter, Hope Cottage, Literacy Instruction for Texas and the United Through Reading Program at the USO.

Altrusa International, Inc. of Downtown Dallas Foundation and the agencies we support, thank you for your generous support.  You are making a difference in the Dallas community.
