Another great day of Backpack Buddies! ❤️ A big thank-you to our volunteers for helping pack bags and keep local kids fed over the weekend. We’re so grateful for the time and heart y’all put into this program!

The generosity continued with a wonderful donation of 270 pounds of food from the Gainesville Car Club! Thank you for thinking of VISTO and helping us keep our shelves stocked for our neighbors.

Busy days are even better with a community like ours!

Power of the Purse 2026! 👛🎉

VISTO Executive Director Bekki Jones, along with co-workers and friends, had a wonderful time at this year's Power of the Purse! We may not have walked away with any purses, but we sure made some great memories and had lots of laughs! ❤️

There's always next year! We're already looking forward to it! 👜💕

I saw David out there fixing Libby’s car and thought, you know what? He deserves a little shout-out of his own.

That’s just David. Over the years, he’s fixed more things around VISTO than I can count, given us his time, and somehow we’ve never seen a bill. 😂 It’s easy to move on to the next thing once something’s working again, but today I wanted to take a minute to thank the guy who got it working in the first place.

And if you’ve ever wondered who we’re lucky enough to have in our corner, David owns White Shark Technology West Texas IT Services. If he takes this much care of us at VISTO, you can imagine the care he puts into his work there.

David, we see you. Thank you for all the things you’ve fixed and all the little ways you look out for us. We appreciate you more than we probably say out loud.

A little note from Tiffany:

I just want to say how blessed I am to have the volunteers who help us feed over 900 kids each week through Backpack Buddies. The list continues to grow, but so does your commitment to keep on keeping on.

I know I get busy and pulled in different directions, but please know how much I appreciate every one of y’all. You’re my rock, and I couldn’t do this without you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

With love and appreciation,
Your Warehouse Manager, occasional chaos coordinator, and biggest fan ❤️

Before the bags can be packed, there’s plenty of prep work to do! A big thank-you to Lindsay Career Prep students for helping stock bins, organize food, and get our Backpack Buddies packing area ready.

Your time and hard work help us send local students home with food for the weekend. We appreciate you lending a hand at VISTO!

A big thank you to My Brother’s House for mowing and keeping VISTO looking good! We appreciate you taking the time to help us out. It’s one less thing on our list, and it makes a big difference!

10/26/2026

We’re at it again! Over 900 Backpack Buddies bags to pack this week! A big shoutout to our volunteers who show up, jump in, and help get these bags ready for local kids. We appreciate all the time and hard work you put in!

22 bags. 411 pounds of food. All for this week’s High School Pantry.

The need is here, even when we don’t always see it. Your donations help fill these bags and give local students one less thing to worry about.

10/22/2026

Now that’s a whole lot of food!

A big thank you to Era ISD for dropping off 824 pounds of food at VISTO! Your generosity helps keep our shelves stocked and food on our neighbors’ tables. We’re so grateful for your support!
