The mission of One Man’s Treasure is to empower men recently released from prison who come to the Dallasarea by providing them with clothing and opportunities for networking. It is centered on the belief that if these men can obtain employment they can lift themselves from poverty into a positive role as a productive member of their community. For the past nine years, the Rockwall-based organization has served to help one man at a time regain his dignity and secure employment by providing him with clothing and resources. It will serve close to 900 men in 2014 and relies solely on the support of individuals, churches, and private foundations to provide operational funding for its ministry.
Anyone interested in supporting the efforts of One Man’s Treasure can send donations: 519 I-30 E #211, Rockwall, TX 75087 or for more information call Annette Jenkins, 214-532-9819.
