'Tis the Season for Giving (Part II)
As we approach the Christmas holidays, I am using this column to raise awareness for charitable causes that are helping those in our area who are vulnerable, less fortunate and in need. In last week's article, I highlighted ways in which you can give a gift to a child in need. There are more than 50 drop-off locations throughout the Coastal Bend where unwrapped toys are being collected for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's "Toys for Tots" program. Also, The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) is collecting gifts for children in the state's foster care system. For more information on how and where to donate a gift, please don't hesitate to call either my Capitol or District office for more information.
District 32 is served by two important food banks; the Food Bank of Corpus Christi which serves eleven coastal counties which include Aransas, Nueces and San Patricio, and the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent which provides for Calhoun and Victoria Counties. The food banks are two of the 19 food banks located throughout the state that make up the Texas Food Bank Network. The network provides food to charities and service organizations in all 254 counties in Texas. Read the full article.
