Our mission:
Serving children in need, in our community
We offer year round programs to help less fortunate children in the central Texas region and currently serve an average of 400+ children a year.
Our history
We started 13 years ago,( after the tragic death of our son Jeffrey) by volunteering with a church based "Angel Tree" that served their local community. The following year we began assisting school based "Angel Tree" programs and eventually we progressed to launching our own School based programs.
In 2023, we evolved and began
offering year round programs.

Emergency assistance
House fires and natural disasters hit low income families the hardest because most of them cannot afford personal property insurance. We are available 365 days a year to provide these families with assistance so that children can go to school the next day with everything they need to have some normalcy and begin healing.
Back to school
We provide children with backpacks, school supplies, clothing, shoes, socks and underwear.
Our Flagship Christmas program
We try to provide each child with 5-6 gifts consisting of 3 items they need the most as well as 2-3 fun/toy type gifts. Our top 3 requested needs are: food, hygiene items and underwear.
Who is Jeffrey?

Who is Jeffrey?
Our son Jeffrey had the most giving and generous heart. He was always creating fundraisers at school to help fellow students and their families in need.
Jeffrey tragically passed away in November of 2011 during his senior year of high school. Christmas was his favorite Holiday so we decided to honor his memory and continue his selfless service to others by providing Christmas to families in need.
