 Thank you to the many groups and individuals that came together to help Beaumont and the surrounding communities in need after the horrific flooding caused by tropical storm Imelda! It’s so comforting and reassuring to know that it doesn’t take an act of congress or a “declaration of disaster” to get groups to come to the aid of those in need. Whether we were going to feed the only 4000 people in need or ending up at 30,150, we were joining forces to help because that’s what we do for each other! This was our first official deployment as the Giving BAK Foundation and it was a huge success. Thank you to Antioch Missionary Baptist Church – Beaumont, TX for hosting, networking, organizing and taking care of all of the many volunteers and countless others. Thank you Brek Webber with Tin Roof BBQ for hauling Thelma and Louise out to us at the spur of the moment!! Craig Sharry, you’re a rock star that can always be counted on and your support means the world!! Thank you Texas Pepper Jelly! Thank you Head Country BBQ and Ron Garcia with Big Ron’s Rub for the donations and support!! Thank you to the President and CEO of the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Bill Allen for coming out and prepping/cooking ALL that chicken with the guys! Your help was greatly appreciated!
To the members of Classic Southeast Texas, way to take care of your community! Thank you Maureen Turpin McAllister with United Way Orange County and Blake Henson with Texas Firewalkers for helping to get the meals to those in need! Last but not least, thank you to Felicia Young, Sherrie Williams Charles, Larry St Andrew, and countless others for all of the love and support over the past week. We could not have done this without you and I know I’ve missed a few. Our organization is already busy on Day 2 with almost 5000 meals going out today. Thank You to all that have donated to help us provide relief to this disaster struck area. Please consider donating this morning to this deployment by going to www.GivingBak.org.
Even a $1 contribution puts a healthy, hot meal into the hands of a hungry individual. From your keyboard or personal device, you can make a difference. Thank you is also in line to all of the amazing volunteers that have #GivingBak their time with the operation of this deployment. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for Sharing and Caring this message so others can see how we embrace disasters and put hope back into the lives of the people of Beaumont, Texas. |
