Dory Parisi
Dory Parisi also runs our Homeless Outreach ministry. This is how it all started: "I have lived in Austin most of my life. In 1999, for a college speech class, we had to choose an issue, research it, and do a speech about it for our final exam. I chose homelessness in Austin. I focused on the youth, the many issues facing them, and programs available to help them. It made an impact on me how many people in this town were affected. Over the years I have helped them out as I could and am so thankful to now get to lead the Homeless Outreach at Southwest!"
