Not all super heroes wear capes! We had the honor of meeting with Rabbi Matt Cohen and Kim and Jody Stein and a remarkable group of young volunteers with the Congregation B’nai Israel of Galveston Island today. These amazing folks chose to give their early Sunday morning to us by cleaning and organizing toys and replacing light bulbs and even fixing ceiling tiles! We are so blessed and grateful that they created a clean and safe environment for the children we serve!
Carmen, our Executive Director and dedicated board member, Rita Baldwin, had a wonderful time in Austin for CACTX Capitol Day on January 29, serving as advocates in the fight against child abuse alongside other Children’s Advocacy Centers of Texas. Pictured here with State Representative District 23, Mayes Middleton. We are honored to be part of something so important!
Juliana Bozeman and Meredith Colelli and the other members of the PALS (Peer Assistance and Leadership) program of Clear Springs High School reminded us this morning that not all heroes wear capes. For Juliana’s service project, this group of remarkable people collected toys, clothes and stuffed animals,as well as a giftcard to Target! PALS are a group of high schoolers who mentor and spend time with elementary school kids who need a little extra love and support, they chose to do this, are interviewed and then are able to join this incredible group who are doing more than they could possibly ever know! We are so grateful for them!
