Grace To Change not only helps individuals who are struggling with addiction but the greater community as well. The effects of one person’s substance abuse are felt by entire families and can be expensive to the community. With the guidance of a program like Grace To Change, individuals are less likely to have repeat offenses or relapses.

The fight against food insecurity has never been more important as First Refuge feeds an estimated 500 families a week at nine different locations.

Victory Therapeutic is an equestrian therapy center in Roanoke that works with riders of all ages and physical disabilities. Over the last two years, its weekly ridership has increased by 267 percent. With a mission to care for the physical, mental, and emotional needs of children, veterans, first responders, and their families, Victory applied for a grant from the CoServ Charitable Foundation, helping fund scholarships for 10 families. 

The CoServ Charitable Foundation awarded a $30,000 grant to the organization last year that will help sponsor athletes. The grant came from CCF’s Unrestricted Fund, which is funded by CoServ Employee payroll deductions and events like the CCF Golf Tournament.

Grace To Change, an outpatient nonprofit treatment center in McKinney, opened its doors in 2011 to begin helping people struggling with substance abuse issues. In the decade since, it has seen close to 1,000 clients, graduating 950 of them along the way. People can and do change, given the proper guidance and support. Grace To Change's Founder and Executive Director Shannon White is living proof of that. 

Whether it’s rising out of a wheelchair to walk across the stage at graduation, holding a newborn daughter for the first time or walking your daughter down the aisle at her wedding, the personal trainers at the Adaptive Training Foundation do everything in their power to help their athlete reach their goal. 

Stopping isn’t an option for any of the pantries or organizations that fight against food insecurity because thousands of North Texans are counting on them.

The CoServ Charitable Foundation has distributed more than $50,000 in grants to Restored Hope Ministries and Refuge for Women over the years that help survivors leave their old life behind. The money helps pay for doctor visits, rehabilitation, counseling, education and certification – whatever the women need to get back on their feet.

CoServ’s Community Engagement Team has provided thousands of meals for medical workers, first responders and volunteers at Texas Motor Speedway since the 16-lane drive-thru clinics started on February 2. And if there are leftovers, it is donated to another great cause. 

A big reason why North Texas charities haven't had to turn anyone away is the CoServ Charitable Foundation’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund, which has made numerous contributions over the past year.
