Why donate during the Coffee Memorial Blood Center Community Challenge? Because you’re donating precious blood and blood products to our hospitals AND helping a non-profit win a cash prize! If Los Barrios de Amarillo wins, money will be used for scholarships to students in the Texas panhandle.

“Both in the short and long terms, Higher Education is valuable to students economically, socially and personally. Achieving a certificate and/or degree at that level absolutely opens doors, allows for greater mobility up the economic ladder, is a good investment and provides an enhanced quality of life.” ~Four Price

The Challenge ends at 7 pm tonight. See you soon!

“I have all these bad dreams in my head that I need to get out.”

The reason we encourage art projects and productivity at the PARC is because in the chaos of our circumstances, projects ground us. They settle our minds. Allow us to dream. 🌎

If you haven’t heard of Amarillo Angels, please check them out. They are doing amazing work for this community!

“It truly is the love that comes with the box.”

Our Love Box program is not just a box, it’s love, it’s friendship, it’s community, and so much more. We created the Love Box program to provide a sense of community and support for fostering families through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship. Volunteers meet practical, everyday needs as well as build intentional relationships with the families and youth they serve.⁠

Support looks like: ⁠
❤️ Sharing a meal with the family⁠
❤️ Babysitting ⁠
❤️ Providing a listening ear⁠

We can only continue to do the work with your help! Today you have the power to transform the way children, youth, and families experience foster care.
