Every community deserves a chance to thrive—with dignity, opportunity, and hope. Empowering the Masses (ETM) , a dynamic nonprofit based in South Dallas, is turning that belief into reality. Who We Are Founded in 2018  by Executive Director Tammy Johnson , ETM has one clear mission: to break the cycle of generational poverty through education, workforce development, and health equity training. Their formula is simple, yet powerful: Education + Advocacy = Empowerment. What We Do CommUNITY Market Every week, ETM supports over 600 families through its CommUNITY Market. Here, families shop with dignity—choosing the items they need from a well-stocked pantry. For those unable to visit, ETM partners with DoorDash to deliver food directly to their homes. Workforce Training ETM equips its neighbors for financial independence via: Phlebotomy Training : Dozens of graduates now working in healthcare with average salary increases of $20,000. Upskill Training : Fast-tracked certification program helping adults quickly re-enter the workforce in medical roles. Community Health Worker (CHW) Training : Equipping local leaders to become certified CHWs who support health education and advocacy in underserved communities. Digital Literacy Training : Nearly 70 participants have completed training—bridging the digital divide and gaining essential tech skills for jobs, school, and daily life. Lunch & Learns Each month, ETM hosts Lunch & Learn  sessions focused on the social determinants of health—economic stability, education, healthcare access, and more—providing both education and a supportive community space. Why This Work Matters ETM dives deep into the social determinants of health (SDOH) —the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, including economic stability, education, healthcare access, and social supports. By improving these foundations, ETM lifts up entire families and strengthens communities. How You Can Help This Giving Day North Texas Giving Day (September 18, 2025)  is just around the corner! This annual community-wide giving initiative, now in its 17th year, sees millions raised for North Texas nonprofits. In 2024 alone, over $70 million flowed into local organizations—and every dollar goes directly to impact work, thanks to Communities Foundation of Texas covering all platform and transaction fees. Here’s how your support can make a difference: Hire a Case Manager for the CommUNITY Market Enable personalized support and resource navigation for families. Stock the Shelves with Diverse, Nutritious Options Ensure culturally relevant and healthy food is available. Add “White-Glove” Ambassadors Provide welcoming assistance—including help with shopping and loading groceries. Offer Wrap-Around Services for Students Support success with essentials like transportation and childcare. Hire an Employment Specialist Keep graduates on track with job placement assistance. Empowering the Masses is more than a nonprofit—it’s a catalyst for change. By addressing root causes of inequality and giving people the tools to succeed, they’re not just offering help—they're igniting transformation. This North Texas Giving Day, your contribution could be the spark.   Your support helps expand life-changing training, education, and support services where they’re needed most.
