We have all pledged "combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions" so I ask that you please speak up. Racism will not be tolerated and it has no place in our society. You can continue to combat racial inequality by signing petitions, donating money, handing water out at protest, etc. Please visit the Texas-Oklahoma Instagram to see how you can help.

Sharing the Blessing
Did you know that approximately 15% of the homeless population in Tarrant County are Children. Have you ever wondered how those kids get their food or clothing and other basic necessities? Well we can change that. With “Sharing the Blessing'' we make a promise that we will do anything we possibly can to supply these kids and their families with the necessities they need. We will be the people they need to survive and hopefully get back on their feet. But don't forget the kids that we all go to school with, that go home to no food. There are more and more people in our community that are becoming homeless or are struggling to pay bills and receive other necessities. This is why I have chosen “sharing the blessing ” to be our divisional project. I want to gather basic necessities such as clothing, food, water and hand them to those in need. On the next page are many ways we can volunteer and change this pattern of poverty. I hope y'all enjoy this project and I know yall will help so many people. I can't wait to see what y’all accomplish and if yall ever need any help or have questions please message or email me.
Make blessing bag - Blessing bags are the perfect way to give back to the homeless community or students who have no food at home. They can be filled with approved items and your club can choose a day to go hand them out. school food pantry - Having a school food pantry is perfect for students who go home to no food. Parents and students can take a survey and whoever needs food or other necessities could come by and grad some. donate items - If you have gently used or new clothing, donating them is a great way to get rid of them and let someone else who needs them use them . Seasonal items - Seasonal items like hoodies, hot hands, etc. are great things to donate and pass out during the winter. Remember we live in Texas and the weather is crazy, so please hand out appropriate items according to the season. Visit the Division 1 website for more information and more ways to serve.
