Our Dallas office is rallying together this week to collect supplies for residents of Canton, Texas, a town about an hour away that was recently devastated by a deadly storm.
General Manager Tim Branham initiated the drive after receiving word through the online neighborhood network NextDoor that a nearby community leader was collecting supplies to deliver to those most in need.
“My wife was on NextDoor and saw a groundswell of activity around building a truck full of goods for Canton, and she knew that our office is very action-oriented around these types of things,” Tim said.
He emailed the team, and soon after, a pile of supplies started growing in his office. Some of the items so far have included dog food, baby wipes, and diapers – all things on the list of goods that are needed.
The team made one delivery to the community leader and now have a second round of supplies (pictured below) growing in the office.
Our Dallas team spends a lot of time in the community, supporting a variety of causes. Recent initiatives have included 50 hours preparing the grounds of a 50-acre horse farm called New Hope Equine for an annual festival and a day at the Comunidad Child Care Center in Dallas helping with much-need renovations.
