Summer Clothing Drive

We had a terrific response to our summer clothing drive for Allison Elementary and Juan Navarro High School in North Austin. Thank you to all the families who contributed much-needed clothes, shoes, and hangers. Everything will truly be appreciated.   

In mid-September, we delivered summer clothes to Allison Elementary (East Austin) and to Mariposa Child Development Center (Also East Austin). The staff were so grateful and said the students will truly appreciate all that was
donated.

We will have a winter clothing drive in October/ November for both of these schools and hope that you will consider donating again. Thank you for helping your neighboring village!

UPDATE!

At the end of September, clothing was distributed at Juan Navarro HS. Many thanks to volunteers Debbie D., Nina, and Debbie P for hours of sorting and Michaela, Larry and Debbie D for their time hanging the clothes at the school. Also, thanks to PromRack for lending us the clothing racks to make the project a success.

Thanks, Mrs. Irvin

Snowmageddon

When the snowpocalypse hit in mid-February 2021, some areas in Austin were without water for several months due to broken pipes and repair delays. A request went out to Westlake HS and West Ridge MS to collect donations of water for Travis HS students and families. They responded in an immense way: for 5 weeks, deliveries were made every Friday to the school. A BIG seal of approval for the Austin neighborhood students who stepped up to help other local students in need. You truly made a difference and it was appreciated. The Austin Ridge Women’s Bible Study Group also graciously jumped in to help.

Prom Collection

Thank you for the enormous response to a request for prom dresses and suits! Our West Austin neighborhoods donated 125 dresses and 75 suits and accessories over a 3 week period. It just shows when you ask folks for items they are willing to be generous for a good cause. They were appreciated more than you know.
