We have Fun Reaching Our Goals (FROG)! Want to hop on board with us?
Altrusa International Foundation of Garland's mission aims to improve our local communities and foster understanding of others by bringing together volunteers to provide service, leadership, and fellowship both locally and around the world.
It’s been said that, while “love makes the world go ‘round,” it’s money that pays for the gas! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of our NTGD goal of $10,000 will go directly back into our community and allow us to provide for those we serve throughout the year.
Here are a few needs that will be met through YOUR North Texas Giving Day donation:
• Books in English and Spanish for literacy events and Little Free Libraries
• Scholarships for Garland ISD graduating senior as they pursue post-secondary learning opportunities
• Military care packages, including the cost of postage, sent around the world
• Varied support for underserved families, including school supplies, food, and training events
• Celebratory events for the elderly in our community including events like a Mother’s Day luncheon at Christan Care Center residents
• Supplies and books for refugee families new to our area
