He helps men, no matter their current state in life, understand they have a purpose and a role to play in life that is needed. He has also dedicated his life to serving the homeless and low income families in South Dallas. Through food, clothing, recovery programs, and prayer, Earl empowers and equips others in seemingly hopeless situations to achieve the impossible.
Maria Fitzsimmons
Volunteer Coordinator
Maria Luisa Fitzsimmons was born in Mexico and came to the United States as a child and grew up in South Texas. She has experienced great loss in her own personal life and her spirit to serve and overcome is part of what drives her servant heart. She has been an interior designer and consultant for more than 25 years and has been writing since she was a young girl.
Always the servant, Maria could be found feeding the homeless all throughout her journey until she arrived at 318 Outreach when she married founder, Earl Fitzsimmons. They now serve together, Maria overseeing the volunteers and coordinating needs for outreach events.
