DeafBlind Children’s Fund of Texas
The DeafBlind Children’s Fund of Texas was founded on the principle that deafblindness is a unique disability and helping the family of a deafblind child is a unique responsibility. The DBCF program serves the families of deafblind children through intervention, the teaching method that models itself after the education of Helen Keller. Intervenors are not federally or state funded, therefore, DBCF provides funding and places them with qualified families.
Toys for Tots
The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future.
