I am, either directly or indirectly, involved in a lot of charitable organizations and projects. I am very aware of the fact that the money, skills, talents, and time that I have been blessed with are to be used to help others. The following is a list of organizations, projects and programs that either I am now involved in, or have been involved in at one time. There are many others I did not list, but one recurring theme is noticed - I have a heart for children. Children are our future, and if we do not take care of them, raise them, and train them, who will? I will do anything within my power to help out children's charities and ministries, mainly through the organizations below. Our agency gives a portion of all commissions received to one or more of the charities below, depending on the need and the time of the year.
Mission Arlington is a local organization that helps people physically, emotionally, and spirtitually. They help people of all walks of life. If they need a meal, a doctor, a church, a dentist, a camp, clothing, transporation, emergency assistance - they can find it there.
The Arlington Pregnancy Center offers support for girls and women who are pregnant, and need help. They help in anyway they can. They give these women a choice, beyond abortion. They want to help not only the baby, but the woman. They care deeply about the lives of all involved, and give as much education, and attention, as possible. They help save thousands of lives every year.
- Lake Arlington Sports Organization
Lake Arlington Baptist Church (LABC) has been ministering to people for nearly 30 years in South Arlington. They have several mission projects from China, to Arlington. They deeply care about everyone. They have projects for children, adults, men, and women. The Love of God is shown to everyone. The Edge Sunday School class at LABC started the Weekend Backpacks ministry to help kids in the local schools who need assistance with meals. Read more about them here. They started Lake Arlington Sports Organization (LASO) to help reach more kids in the community, to show them God's love, but to also help them stay out of trouble, and have fun with sports.
- Arlington Masonic Lodge #438
- Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children
- Shriners Hospital for Children
The Scottish Rite and Shriners Hospitals help out kids with illnesses, diseases, and injuries. There are NUMEROUS fundraisers throughout the year to help those in need, for both the Shriners and Scottish Rite hospitals. I try to help out as much as I can. The Arlington Masonic Lodge supports these two organizations, as well as other charitable programs, and the membership care about children deeply. They read to children in the mornings at school, they give scholarships to children, and reward teachers who teach our children. They also help and honor the local firefighters and police officers who protect our community.
