Grateful beyond words ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers, my family, our sponsors, Terrell Independent School District, and the entire community for making this yearโ€™s Holiday Give Back one of our biggest to date. Because of YOU, we were able to provide gifts and toys to over 200 families this holiday season.

This wasnโ€™t just about giving gifts โ€” it was about showing up, spreading love, and reminding families that they are seen, valued, and supported. When a community comes together with purpose, the impact is powerful.

โ€œWe Have Everything We Need In Every Moment.โ€
GRATITUDE is Our HIGHEST EXPRESSION ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ

Thank you for being the heart of this mission.

Students from Furlough Middle Schoolโ€™s College Prep Academy kicked off the Christmas season by donating toys to the 2nd Chances Life tenth annual toy giveaway. As part of their academy requirements, students must complete volunteer hours, and they chose the toy drive as one of their service projects.

The toy giveaway is scheduled for Dec. 20 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bruce Wood Elementary gym/cafeteria, located at 121 Poetry Road in Terrell. Toy drop-off locations are available at all TISD campuses Monday through Thursday.

For questions about the toy giveaway, call 310-893-9114 or email [email protected].

10 Years!!๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ
Over the past decade, our Holiday Giveback has provided hope, joy, and critical resources to more than 1,000 families across Terrell, Kaufman County, and surrounding areas. With toys, food, community engagement, and scholarship opportunities, this event has become a beacon of support for families facing financial hardships during the holiday season. The smiles on childrenโ€™s faces and the relief felt by parents year after year remind us of the deep impact this event continues to have.

As we celebrate ten years of service, our goal is to support at least 100 families this seasonโ€”and we cannot achieve this without committed community partners. We are respectfully requesting monetary donations as well as toy donations for boys and girls of all ages to help make this yearโ€™s Giveback our most impactful yet.

This yearโ€™s event also carries special meaning as we honor our Founding Members, Byron Mims and Antoine Simmons, whose leadership and compassion helped establish this initiative. We will also recognize Judy George, Damaria Jackson, and the many families in our community who have suffered tragic losses. Their strength continues to inspire our mission and remind us why this work matters.

With the continued support of local leaders, volunteers, churches, organizations, and partners, this event has grown tremendously. We are grateful to collaborate each year with TISD, Two Women on a Mission, Jersey Druโ€™s, the City of Terrell, BMT Community Center, More With Us, Serenity Corner, and many others whose consistent contributions make this event possible.

Our Holiday Giveback celebration will include:

Toys for children of all ages

Food and refreshments

Giveaways and raffles

Music and entertainment

Special guests

Scholarship announcements for graduating seniors
