charity

An East Texas organization just received a HUGE investment from the billionaire.

Austin created "Tackles 4 Cancer" whose mission is to improve the quality of life for cancer patients through transportation through fundraising and community building events.

On Nov. 23 and Nov. 24th the food bank will have a drive thru produce distribution point in Tyler, Lufkin and Longview to help families in need.

Who says you can't have breakfast for dinner?

JJ Watt continues to be awesome. He is giving someone the chance to win some huge prizes for donating to his charity.

The owners of the new Forth Worth restaurant say they're answering a call from God with this unique concept.

Are good deeds not as genuine once they're posted online or do you think it inspires more to follow suit?

So far those spending time behind bars have donated over $50,000 to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Did you even know inmates in Texas could donate money to charity?

That's right. All 500+ locations are participating.

With the huge hurricane Harvey relief effort getting the focus now, don't ya kinda wonder if other every day charities will feel forgotten and suffer with a lack of donations? One Texas restaurant chain is doing its best to make sure that doesn't happen, and just made huge donations to area food banks to help all Texans who need it.

We know East Texas is very giving. But exactly how much do East Texans give? It's pretty high based on this latest survey.

People tend to feel generous during the holidays in December, but January can be a rough month for organizations that rely on donations.  Tyler's Meals on Wheels program is feeling the pinch, and could use a boost right now.
