Needs
There are currently over 300,000 Grandprents raising Grandchildren in the State of Texas. Over 60,000 of these grandparents live below the poverty line and many of these are on fixed incomes and struggle financially to provide for their grandchildren. At Grand Love we have developed the following programs to assist these grandparents and give these children opportunities that they otherwise would not have. To fund these programs, we need your help.
Grand Summers- offers scholarships for children to attend transformative summer camps that build confidence, social skills, and spiritual growth.
Grand Arts- opens doors to music, dance, theater, and visual arts for those who might not otherwise afford such enrichment.
Grand Love Wish Tree- helps brighten the holidays for grandchildren being raised by grandparents. Each tag on the tree represents a special wish or need. Community members can select a tag and make a direct impact by fulfilling that wish—spreading love and support to families who need it most.
Backpacks With Love- provides school backpacks filled with essential supplies to grandchildren being raised by grandparents. Each backpack helps a child start the school year confident and prepared—easing the financial burden on caregivers and showing families they’re not alone.
Grand Scholarships- provide two-year awards to local community colleges, giving grandchildren a pathway to higher education.
Grand Assistance- helps meet urgent everyday needs such as clothing, haircuts, school supplies, and access to dental and vision care—necessities that often go unmet in grandfamily households struggling on fixed incomes.
