Fathom Realty's dedication to community service shone brightly across Texas during the recent Fathom Serves events. Agents and partners showcased their unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference, from packing essential backpacks for at-risk children to providing fully furnished homes for deserving individuals. Here's a look at how various districts came together to serve communities throughout the state.
Pflugerville's Backpack Buddies: A Lifeline for At-Risk Children
Under the leadership of Dan Brunner, District Director for Austin East, TX, Fathom agents, alongside representatives from Encompass Lending Group, joined forces to support the Backpack Buddies program in Pflugerville, TX. This initiative is crucial in combating food insecurity by providing nutritious, kid-friendly meals for weekends when children might lack access to school-provided meals. Volunteers packed backpacks with essentials such as breakfast items, easy-to-prepare meals, fresh or canned fruits and vegetables, milk, juice, and snacks. Their hard work ensured numerous children could access vital food resources over the weekends.
Central Texas Food Bank: Nourishing Young Lives
Amy Lord, District Director for Austin South, TX, led a dedicated team from the Austin South District in the Central Texas Food Bank's kitchen. Their efforts were instrumental in preparing meals for the summer kids' program, which supports children and families across 22 counties in the Austin area. The team successfully prepared 2,313 meals for hungry kids, contributing to a total of 6,113 meals prepared during their shift. This effort highlighted the district's commitment to alleviating hunger and supporting local families.
Thriving United: Organizing for Recovery and Support
In Midland/Odessa, TX, District Director Stephanie McSwain mobilized Fathom agents to volunteer at Thriving United, a non-profit organization that aids individuals in recovery from substance use disorders, mental illness, and trauma. Volunteers focused on organizing a warehouse full of donations and arranging the clothing store to create a welcoming environment for those in need. This event underscored Fathom's dedication to supporting recovery efforts and enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing significant challenges.
Books for Kids: Fostering Literacy in Houston
Nicole McNeil-Wyatt, District Director for Houston, TX, spearheaded the Books for Kids initiative to boost literacy among children in the Houston community. Fathom agents participated in making books available for children to build their home libraries, promoting a love for reading and providing valuable educational resources. This initiative emphasized the importance of literacy in children's development and supported their educational growth.
Gateway Apartments: A New Beginning for Two Deserving Graduates
On behalf of the Dallas/Fort Worth District Directors, Bonnie Lloyd coordinated a heartfelt Fathom Serves project in collaboration with Babes in Business. The team worked tirelessly to fully furnish, supply, clean, and decorate a 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment for two deserving graduates of the Samaritan Inn program. These individuals, who had overcome significant challenges, including homelessness, received a fully furnished apartment with linens, bedding, kitchen items, groceries, and more. Additionally, they were gifted $100 in gift cards, $300 in cash, and $50 for a celebratory meal. This generous support, totaling approximately $1,000, exemplified Fathom's commitment to helping individuals transition to a stable and fulfilling life. Special thanks to Shivonne Carolina, Aim High Realty Group, and Steve Lester for all their support!
