We believe the health and wellness of a community starts with
healthy, happy families.
That’s why we give to organizations that help children, youth
and families reach their full potential, whether by delivering warm
meals to the homes of senior citizens or safe, academic-focused
after-school care for adolescents.
The impact some of these gifts make in the community is
instantly measurable. The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation has
been proud to support Meals on Wheels Inc. of Tarrant County
since 2010. During that time, the agency has provided 30,000
meals – and 30,000 smiles – to elderly and disabled residents in
Arlington.
But we realize other gifts are shaping lives for the better in
ways that may not be known for years. That’s one of the many
reasons the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation was honored to gift
$650,000 toward the creation of the 7,000-square-foot Boys &
Girls Clubs branch at the new Peach Elementary School. Through
a unique partnership between the Arlington Independent School
District and the nonprofit agency, the center provides Arlington
families with an after-school care program focused on academics,
healthy lifestyle and character development.
