NO MAN ALONE Twelve dad squads across DFW and Austin. Free to join, free to show up, and there is a table with your name on it. Upcoming Gatherings →

Showing up for people

Service projects

A tree down across the drive, a hard move, a yard nobody has touched in a year. Most of these are jobs a few men can finish in a morning, for each other and sometimes for families, schools and neighbors who need a hand.

Nobody keeps score and nobody owes anybody afterward.

What we’re working on

Each project lists when it is, how many hands it needs and what to bring. Open one to see how to help.

Tree cutting and haul off

  • Not scheduled. Adetiba walks the property with the homeowner first.
  • Adetiba and his crew on the saws, as his business, insured. Then…
  • Dump fees and fuel. Gloves and safety glasses. Adetiba brings all cutting…

Moving day, the heavy items

  • Two days out of Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026. He will confirm which two.
  • Two to four men, and four is better than two if there…
  • Nothing. Moving straps if anybody has them.

How to help

Know somebody who could use a hand? They don’t have to be a member. Tell us about them and a leader will take a look.

TELL US ABOUT SOMEONE

Skills and gear

A trailer beats a phone tree

When a project comes up, the first question isn’t who wants to help. It’s who has a chainsaw, who has a truck, and who has done this before without hurting himself. Half of what a squad needs is already in the group.

Tell us your trades, tools and gear so we know who to call. Being handy enough to help is the bar, not being a professional. Only your squad leaders see it, and you can get off the list anytime by emailing info@dadsquad.org.

What are you good at?
