Youth Education
DBC provides summer programming for youth in our community. This summer we launched a Jammin' and Jellin' camp that taught children ages 10-14 how to create canned jams and jellies; and we also hosted a month long educational program for teens from Madison and Lincoln High Schools that combined the preservation of Black history and culture with creative expression.
Watch for news on new youth programming!

Bethlehem Market
DBC provides supplemental meal support through our food pantry distribution. We are a CDP (Community Distribution Partner) with Crossroads (a hub of the North Texas Food Bank). With a focus on distributing healthy food items, DBC often supplements our donations with healthy protein sources. We also work in partnership with Lovers’ Lane United Methodist Church to distribute almost 100,000 pounds of fresh produce each year.
DBC is a client-choice based food pantry, allowing our neighbors to shop for what they need/want and leave what they don't for other families. On Thursdays, volunteers are available to help our shoppers.
DBC is a no-barriers-to-entry food pantry. No identification or income verification is required for service. No reservation required.
The Market is open both weekday and evening hours.
Tuesday - 5pm - 7pm
