The Dallas Cowboys didn’t wait for a game-winning drive or a blockbuster roster move to remind the country why they carry the “America’s Team” label. Instead, they chose something far more meaningful.
On a day when teams push marketing campaigns or Black Friday leftovers, Dallas grabbed national attention by stepping into a real community fight against poverty, addiction, and homelessness in North Texas.
It was a direct message about identity and responsibility. In a league where franchises often posture, Jerry Jones‘ Cowboys flexed with purpose, not noise. And frankly, this is the kind of move that strengthens a brand far more than any midseason win ever could.
The Dallas Cowboys Partner With Salvation Army of North Texas
On Tuesday, the Cowboys announced a major community partnership. The America’s team has teamed up with The Salvation Army of North Texas to support families battling some of the region’s most urgent challenges. The organization released the update publicly, emphasizing that every dollar donated stays within the local community.
The team shared an update on X, “We’re teaming up with @SalArmyNTX this #GivingTuesday to support our neighbors combating poverty, addiction, and homelessness… Your generosity stays local, and the impact reaches families across our community during this critical time of year.”
The Cowboys also asked Fans to donate directly through salvationarmyntx.org, supporting services such as emergency shelter, meals, recovery programs, and holiday assistance.
The Salvation Army of North Texas is the regional branch of The Salvation Army that serves communities across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and nearby counties. Its mission is to support individuals and families struggling with poverty, homelessness, addiction, and food insecurity. The organization operates shelters, provides meals, offers substance-abuse rehabilitation, and delivers financial assistance programs such as rent help, utility aid, and emergency support during crises.
Many of their services focus on stabilizing families during high-need periods like winter and the holiday season, when shelters fill up and demand for food and housing support spikes. Every donation made to this regional branch stays local, which allows it to directly assist thousands of North Texas residents each year.
Their work is also widely recognized due to the long-standing partnership with the Dallas Cowboys. The most visible example is the annual Red Kettle Campaign launched during the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game, which has become one of the most prominent charity moments in American sports.
By amplifying the call for donations, the Cowboys strengthen programs that directly support thousands of families. It’s a clear example of the team using its platform for measurable local impact, and a reminder of why the franchise’s reputation extends far beyond football results.
