Here are a few examples of how local best businesses give back:
CASA for Kids of East Texas
Imagine what it feels like to be the person who shows a child that heroes still walk the earth, and not all grown-ups are the same. You can be the one to restore a child’s faith in people and give them hope for the future. Think about a time in your life when you felt very alone and someone came to stand beside you. Do you remember what a gift that was? You can give that same gift to an abused or neglected child as a Court Appointed Special Advocate®.
Swann’s Furniture & Design
From adventure seeker to God lover, Lewis Swann felt called to start a medical ministry called Sight.org. Togo, Africa, has a huge problem with preventable blindness, and when someone in Togo goes blind, they lose their independence and are stigmatized as socially inferior. Sight.org delivers sight to the blind, which also opens the door to share the good news of Jesus where over 280,000 people have never heard the gospel. Traveling deep into the jungles of Africa with a donated ETMC ambulance retrofitted into a mobile eye surgical clinic, Sight.org has performed sight-restoring surgeries to over 1,000 people, where there is zero access to eye care.
All of our stories can be found online:
