We had a WONDERFUL turnout and fun was had by all at last Thursday’s “2 Pianos Downtown”. Thank you to ALL of our sponsors and attendees!!

We want to give a special thanks and recognition to the event’s top sponsor, Dr. Matthew Burks and his Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Northeast Texas team!! Dr. Burks, his wife, his team of specialists, and their families are wonderful people who support our event every year.

Special thanks also to the family of Randy Sams (Bill, Mandy, Janie, and Brian) for your sponsorship, volunteerism, and attendance at this event, and for making the existence of the shelter possible so many years ago.

The proceeds raised from ALL of our sponsors and ticket holders support the continuation of vital shelter services we provide to adults experiencing homelessness in our area. So, thank you again to ALL for your support.

Thank you so much to Texarkana Funeral Home for making donations of much needed hygiene items, gloves, socks, and cash for us to buy some extra toothpaste! Their staff said they wanted to give back this holiday season, and it is much needed and appreciated. 🎄

We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community ❤️

During our annual company Christmas party, Texarkana Funeral Home collected donations for Randy Sams’ Outreach Shelter. We love helping our community, and this organization does incredible work for those in need.

They are always in need of donations, including everyday essentials such as underwear, deodorant, reading glasses, cold & flu medicine, and plastic bags.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this donation possible!
