Strong communities are built when people and organizations choose to invest in the places they call home.
EOAC is grateful to the Higginbotham team and the Higginbotham Community Fund at North Texas Community Foundation for a recent $5,000 grant supporting EOAC.
This gift may be represented by a number on a check, but its impact reaches much further.
Every day, EOAC works alongside children, parents, seniors, and individuals throughout the Heart of Texas who are working toward greater stability. Our programs may be what the public sees most often, from Head Start and Early Head Start to Energy Assistance, Weatherization, EmpowerU, and other family support services. Behind each of those programs, however, is an organization that must have the people, systems, facilities, technology, and resources necessary to deliver those services well.
Support for EOAC helps strengthen that foundation and allows us to continue doing what we are here to do: move families forward by connecting them to opportunities that build lasting stability.
The Importance of Local Philanthropy
There is something especially meaningful about businesses choosing to invest in the communities where their employees live, work, and serve.
Local philanthropic support allows organizations like EOAC to respond to local needs while building the capacity required for long-term impact. It is also a reminder that strengthening families is not the responsibility of any one organization. It takes nonprofits, businesses, foundations, civic leaders, and individuals working together.
Higginbotham’s generosity is an example of that kind of partnership.
When a local business chooses to support EOAC, it is investing in the thousands of families who interact with our organization and in the future of the Heart of Texas itself. Stronger families contribute to a stronger workforce, stronger schools, and a stronger region.
Thank You, Higginbotham
We are sincerely thankful for the generosity of the Higginbotham Community Fund at North Texas Community Foundation and for the support of the Higginbotham team. We are so thankful for Mike Simon and his team here in Waco, serving our area so well!
Your investment strengthens our ability to continue serving families with care, dignity, and excellence.
It also demonstrates what is possible when local philanthropy and Community Action come together around a shared belief that families deserve opportunities to thrive.
Thank you, Higginbotham, for investing in EOAC and in families. 💙
