AT&T, a MACo Gold Corporate Partner, has started an initiative Believe DallasSM.
Through this initiative, AT&T has given $565,000 to mitigate homelessness for service-accepting families and veterans in Dallas.
AT&T has developed homeless service providers by working alongside businesses, the city, and non-profits.
According to the AT&T press release:
We have a legacy of service in the communities we work and live. We think we can make a meaningful difference by focusing our resources on local challenges like homelessness here in Dallas. In other cities, we’re addressing other man-made disasters.
– John Donovan, CEO, AT&T Communications
