Goslin Opportunity Center

Serving the People of Oak Cliff with Love, Compassion, and Dignity

Begun as a food pantry in 1948 by Mrs. Virginia Goslin, the Goslin Opportunity Center provides emergency food and clothing for 50,000+ people each year. In addition to providing immediate assistance, we also train our clients for life success by providing employment counseling, nutritional counseling, English classes, and more.

The Goslin Opportunity Center works with churches and other agencies throughout Dallas to provide a variety of social services to some of Dallas' most needy residents. We are affiliated with the North Texas Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, and cooperate with Tyler Street Community Services.

We are located at the North Entrance of the Church on 10th Street.
