Our Needs
Since 2002, we have given out more than 100,000 new uniforms to students from disadvantaged families in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our distributions take place directly in schools, and are a welcome event that is greatly appreciated by teachers, parents, and the children who love to get new things, especially since they can seem like a luxury for these families. With your support, we can maintain and expand our programs to help an increasing number of disadvantaged children. Your support also makes disaster relief missions possible. Please help us provide assistance to people when misfortune turns their lives upside down.
