Bob’s Bags is a little-known mission based in Duncanville that has been quietly assisting Dallas County’s homeless residents with basic necessities for almost seven years. The work has grown tremendously since Bob Cawthon, a member of First Christian Church of Duncanville, was inspired to find ways to help the homeless population.
Cawthon saw how much a 10-cent bottle of water meant to a thirsty homeless man he helped on his morning drive to work. He wanted to do more, and enlisted the help of his family, friends, and church family. The Bob’s Bag website explains the mission in these words.
