Had a blast serving more than 150 homeless friends during the Christmas in the Park event in Beaumont tonight. CCFR members Kim Miller, Sherronice Wilkins, Angela Burke, Aracely Rivera, Kristie Cardenas, and Dr. White (not pictured) helped with set-up, decorating, and gift distribution alongside many other community partners. It was an awesome way to serve the community and spread some Cardinal love just in time for Christmas.

Today, the Cardinal Council on Family Relations (CCFR) members - Aracely Rivera, Samantha Strong, and Angela Burke - had the honor of serving at the Family Summit, sponsored by the
SETX Strong Families Coalition.

Families enjoyed lessons, activities, a community resource fair, and a shared family meal that brought everyone together.

CCFR members agreed it was a great event and shared that today was about more than service — it was about truly understanding the power of family.

We are so proud of CCFR for representing Lamar University through service, leadership, and learning in the community!
