The TVEC Charitable Foundation recently awarded five grants totaling $21,500.
Founded in 2013, the foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization, created to serve the community and help improve the quality of life for residents in our service area. The foundation is funded entirely by donations from TVEC members who participate in Operation Round Up.
Grant recipients were:
First Community Church Crandall - $2,500. The church has a contract with Texas Presbyterian Hospital Health Ministry to provide first aid training. The grant funds will be used to provide AED and CPR training to a wide range of groups using the church facility.
God’s Helping Hand - $5,000. Helping Hands Food Assistance is a missionary connection of the church that provides food once a month for families and individuals in the community who are in need. Grant funds will be used to increase the number of individuals served, and to assist in purchasing better quality canned goods, meats and fresh fruit.
