Ten schools have reached out this morning asking for help for students who showed up without the clothes and shoes they need.

For so many of us, it’s hard to imagine what that looks like. Most of us have a closet full of options. Sometimes too many options.

These kids show up dirty, smelly, shoes falling off or duck taped on, toes sticking out the front, smelling of dog or cat urine … we’ve heard it all.

We exist to give you the avenue to donate your excess so we can meet these needs.

Shout out to this consistent donor who always labels what she finds for us!! So helpful!! 🫶🏽

This week was a bit overwhelming. The requests for students came in quickly and our volunteers hustled all day long to meet the needs.

We received one “911” message and were able to respond within a few hours to a need in Shallowater.

Our contact told us they were in a meeting with several school staff and that her principal called the family's need a "911". We quickly relayed the message to Nana who was already at the warehouse filling orders and she was able to locate the items they needed and deliver them within a couple hours of the request.

This morning we received this follow up text:

“The elementary need was met and it's because we have you as a partner in loving others. The staff is so grateful for the rapid turnaround and ability to meet needs before yesterday ended! I'm in the nurse's office now and they're over the top.”

Over the top.
That’s what generosity looks like.

Because of YOUR generosity, we’re able to give a weeks worth of clothing to kids in need. Often within a few hours of hearing that they need it.

Thank you Lubbock for helping us respond with generosity, and for being our partners in loving others.

It’s a busy day at the front warehouse. Our Nana is filling requests for seven schools. Dozens of labeled bags fill the lobby and our volunteer delivery drivers are on their way to pick and take these items to the campuses!!

Bombas socks are being loaded up for Caleb's Closet - and we love being able to give out our new bags provided by McHur Care!!

Thank you LBK for all you give to FOUND. We love to meet these needs and couldn’t do it without YOU!!

Sometimes moving forward means being willing to pivot.

Last month, we made the decision to simplify FOUND.’s operations, reduce our overhead, and operate from our two warehouses...keeping our resources focused as much as possible on what matters most: serving students and the educators who care for them every day.

And then Lubbock reminded us, once again, what it looks like when a community rallies around a mission.

Our front warehouse needed an HVAC system to make the space functional and comfortable for our volunteers, educators and all the work happening there.

Sinclair Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing Inc. donated the HVAC system.

An electrician donated his time.

Labor was provided to us at a significantly reduced cost.

And generous FOUND. donors stepped in to cover that remaining cost.

We are incredibly grateful to Sinclair Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing Inc., to the professionals who donated their time and reduced their costs, and to the donors who made the rest possible.

Our warehouse is cooler...and our hearts are pretty warm.

Thank you for continuing to believe in FOUND. as we grow, learn, pivot and keep finding the best way forward.

I ordered food to the warehouse on Wednesday and the nicest man delivered. Gabriel asked about FOUND and I was grateful to share about the amazing work we get to do every day to help kids in the schools. He was kind and encouraging and when he left I tried to leave more of a tip but never found where to do it.
This text made my whole day.
People are generous and kind and want to help and FOUND is so thankful for every one of the helpers.

We’re so thrilled and thankful for this gift from McHur Care! From the day we heard about what they do, we knew our campus contacts needed to know about their work.

Their qualified mental health professionals work directly with children, teens, and adults to build the practical tools that make daily life more manageable. Services are delivered where life happens — at home, AND at school (🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽)‼️

They meet very specific needs that we see and hear about daily. Mental health is not talked about enough, so when there’s support out there we want to get the word out!!

How kind of them to help us by providing bags for the educators we serve. WIN/WIN!

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” Proverbs 3:27

There’s a lot that happens before the doors ever open.

Clothes are sorted.
Shelves are stocked.
Tables are filled.
The warehouse is organized.

Volunteers give their time, use their strengths, and do the work that makes a morning like Treat An Educator possible.

And then the doors open…and we get to watch generosity become something tangible.

More than 100 educators came through FOUND to shop for themselves last Saturday. Some were lined up before 6 a.m.

And over and over, we heard the same thing: THANK YOU. 🥹

But we’re thankful, too.

✨ Thankful for educators who pour into the next generation all year long.

✨ Thankful for volunteers who serve when no one is watching.

✨ Thankful for donors and friends who make it possible for us to have something to give.

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35

We get to experience the truth of that here all the time.

This is what happens when a lot of people decide to do the good that is in front of them.

Many hands.
Many gifts.
One community loving people well.

We love to love people at FOUND.
