What is Tapestry Ministries
The Tapestry Ministries mission is to help those in need. We support healthy relationships by providing services for women, men and children through our 3 signature programs – the We Care Ministry (which serves both women and men facing domestic violence), the Y.E.S. Youth Expecting Success Program, and M.A.D.A. (Men Against Domestic Abuse).
We Care Ministry
Our journey began in 2009 as the Tapestry Women’s Ministry, offering shelter to those escaping domestic violence. Today, we’ve grown to support both women and men in need.
Our Y.E.S. PROGRAM helps build self esteem in our youth
Established in 2000 we have partnered with CitySquare to combat teen pregnancy and dropout rates in East Dallas.
Our M.A.D.A. PROGRAM provides men tools and support mechanisms
Our initiative is dedicated to empowering men and teen boys to become advocates against domestic abuse and stand in support of those affected by it.
