Once again, TNT Impact, the Gainesville Hub of Operation Impact, has extended its philanthropic reach to support the mission of ECS4Kids. Over the past two years, they have donated classroom supplies as well as holiday gifts to children and staff across Gainesville. This time, they adopted our Highlands Center and donated classroom supplies to help equip our students for a successful school year.
And because many hands make light work, TNT Impact reached out to a local construction company to partner with them in the giving. “I wanted to donate to ECS4Kids because every child deserves the opportunity to feel supported, loved, and empowered to reach their full potential,” said Oelrich Construction, Inc. spokesperson and TNT Impact volunteer, Dr. Brian Ortiz. “If my contribution can make even a small difference in a child’s life, then it’s worth it.”
And as if that weren’t enough, they shared the joy of literacy by reading some of their classroom favorites with our kiddos. “It should be all of our mission to make the next generation better than the last, one kind act, one book, and one hug at a time,” said TNT Impact volunteer, Keyera Hutto. “Simply giving a child the tools to believe in their own potential is what makes the greatest impact.”
We’re grateful for community partners like Oelrich Construction, Inc. and individuals like Tee Jackson who believe in investing in our children and helping them start the year strong. Together, we’re creating brighter beginnings and bigger possibilities for our kiddos!
