☀️ Summer has been full of learning, fun, and new experiences! 📚🎨🍿

Our incredible children who reside in GWC and Felix Heights have had an amazing summer staying active, learning new things, and making great memories. From hands-on STEM activities and fun craft projects to movie trips and games, they’ve stayed engaged while having a great time.

One of the highlights was spending time with the Hope Dealers, who encouraged our youth and reminded them to be drug free so they can achieve great things. Those conversations and moments meant a lot.

We’re grateful for everyone who helped make this summer special: Dallas County System of Services, our staff, volunteers, community partners, and families. Thank you for investing in our children and helping create a summer they’ll remember.

We can’t wait to see all they’ll accomplish as they head into the new school year! 💙

Virtuous Women 2026 💜

What a beautiful day of fellowship, faith, laughter, and encouragement at our Annual Virtuous Women Event in the Rangedale Community!

It was a blessing to see women of all ages come together to build relationships, uplift one another, and be reminded of the strength, purpose, and value God has placed within each of us. From engaging conversations and inspiring moments to fun giveaways and shared meals, every part of the day reflected the power of community.

A heartfelt thank you to every volunteer, sponsor, and participant who helped make this event so special. Your love, generosity, and servant hearts made a lasting impact.

When women come together in unity, families are strengthened, communities are transformed, and hope continues to grow.

We are already looking forward to next year! 💜

Who "We Are?

“WE ARE” a compassionate organization! 

Compassion involves feeling another person’s pain and wanting to take steps to help relieve their suffering. It is related to other emotions such as sympathyempathy, and altruism, although the concepts have some key differences. Empathy refers more to the general ability to take another person’s perspective and feel the emotions of others. Compassion, on the other hand, is what happens when those feelings of empathy are accompanied by the desire to help.
