Baskets of Love is an opportunity to bring smiles to the children in our community during the Easter season. Each basket contains Easter toys and goodies for young children.

Please consider helping us continue to reach out to children in need by donating items to help fill the baskets. Donations can be dropped off at WACS or any satellite drop-off site.

When school cafeterias close for the summer, kids lose a regular source of meals. Families who rely on free and reduced-priced lunches suddenly have much higher grocery bills.

During these summer months, we also face a decline in food donations and an increase in families coming in for food assistance. Our Summer Food Drive looks to replenish our shelves to meet this higher demand. 

JUNE – AUGUST

Most Wanted 2023 School Supplies:

Please consider donating an item or two from the link below. It includes the items we rarely receive in the basic supplies request, but are still needed for our students  – especially our middle and high school students who need more than crayons.

Most needed items will include an online link, if you would like to shop online and mail directly to WACS.

The mission of the School Snack Pack program is to provide children with food to take home over the weekend. The snack packs are filled with child-friendly, easy-to-prepare food and discreetly distributed to students in Dallas County. 

Please consider donating snacks or assembling snack packs with a group of friends or co-workers.

Many of us get excited planning for the Thanksgiving holiday and family gathering together.  Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky. Some families can not afford a Thanksgiving dinner.
