\n

Because I am the first person everyone sees when they enter the Foundation, I consider it a pleasure and honor to be the face and voice of such a great organization. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stockpiled<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everything! Meat, frozen vegetables, peanut butter, soup, masks, disposable gloves, paper products, hand sanitizer wipes, sprays, soap, and detergent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motivation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Family, coworkers, prayer, exercise, and reading. Technology is great for helping us stay connected with those we love and care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

View of Our Sector & Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our grantees were extraordinarily committed to addressing COVID’s effects on everything from homelessness to education to front-line workers. It was amazing to see how they persevered. The Foundation was the same – it exemplified its mission when it really mattered.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What I’m Looking Forward To<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

I am most excited about the Wilson Historic District. It’s been a part of Dallas for more than 40 years and there are new opportunities for the Foundation and other nonprofits. It is creating new, collaborative ideas that will help Texas. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
