This weekend, our Austin team distributed coats and meals to our East Austin neighbors, ensuring they’re supported as colder months arrive. Together, we’re helping create warmth and resilience in our communities. We are extremely grateful for the support from our partners: WeCanNow, The Hungry Hill Foundation, Hoop Shop, Huston-Tillotson University, Anythings Baked Potato, Roger Beasley Mazda, Austin Parks and Recreation, and the Yellow Bike Project. Without them, this effort would not have been possible. #CommunityImpact #Austin #Nonprofit
