TUFF Bags

Wow! This morning’s volunteers were absolutely rocking and packed 3,660 TUFF Bags in just over an hour! You all were amazing ♥️

Special thanks to the wonderful crew from Dover St. John’s Church for helping out this morning - what a wonderful group!

The TUFF Bags team is proudly wearing blue today to help spread awareness for Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention and to show support for our friends Noah's Hope Child Advocacy Center who work so hard to keep children safe. 💙

5 years?! It's hard to believe, but yes! This September we will host the 5th Annual Feeding Our Future Gala, and we would love for you to be part of this special night!

❤️ Exciting announcement!! ❤️

We're making some changes to how we will operate things, and our team is working on finalizing a few details, but we wanted to let our families know that we will once again offer our Summer Meal Program this year! It will run from June 9th - August 7th.

Information will be sent home with students in the coming weeks, and will also be available on our website and social media.

We are so excited to be able to offer this important program again this summer and look forward to seeing kiddos and families!

TUFF Bags Volunteer of the Month for April is Monica Scott!

* Monica has been volunteering with us for 4 years.

* Through their children and church, Monica met Lisa, the TUFF Bags Director. She says when Lisa told her about the program, she immediately knew it was something she wanted to be involved in.

* Her favorite part of volunteering is knowing that it's an opportunity to make a positive impact on a child's life in our community - and it's a fun time. (We love that!)

* When asked why being involved in our community is important to her, Monica had this to say, "I was raised in a small, tight-knit community where neighbors were always helping neighbors. So it has always been important to me to be part of whatever community I belong to. I also believe it is a great way to live like Jesus."

* Monica's encouragement to anyone who hasn't volunteered with us that it is a rewarding, fun and all-inclusive experience, and everyone is welcome! (We couldn't have said it better❤️)

Thank you Monica, for giving your time, support and love to TUFF Bags. We appreciate you!

What a fantastic morning at the TUFF Bags warehouse! We never get tired of seeing so many smiles and hearing the laughter, singing and chatting. You could feel the love going into every bag!

YES! Shout out to all of the amazing cafeteria staff who work day in and day out to provide breakfast and lunch for kiddos. We appreciate you!

After quite a wild weather day and night, we were extremely blessed to have electricity at our warehouse this morning and our amazing volunteers got the the rest of our Spring Break bags packed in record time.

Special thanks to our awesome friends from Texas Roadhouse. We absolutely adore our Roadies! ♥️

Oh and “peep” Angie’s adorable Easter sign!
