Smart Choice Scholarship
An annual award for East Texas graduating seniors pursuing trades, technology or teaching. Applications open each spring.
Community
We're not passing through. We live here.
A locally owned company should leave its towns better than it found them. That's less about logos on banners and more about showing up regularly, for years.
What we support
Six commitments, renewed every year.
Each of these has a budget and a person responsible for it. That's how we keep them from becoming good intentions.
Connected Classrooms
Working with local districts to make sure students who need a connection at home have one.
Library Tech Hours
Free drop-in help at partner libraries: Wi-Fi setup, device basics, and honest bill reviews.
Friday Night Sponsorships
Local ball fields, band programs and county fairs. Small towns run on these things.
Volunteer Days
Paid volunteer hours for everyone here, spent with the organizations they already care about.
Community Calendar
Where we'll be next — festivals, chamber events, school nights and neighborhood meetups.
Ask us
Organizing something local?
Schools, churches, nonprofits and volunteer groups can reach us directly. We'd rather hear about it early than read about it afterward.
Neighbors first, business second.
If we've helped your organization, we'd love to help your household too.
