🦃💜 TURKEY TAKEOVER 2026 IS UNDERWAY! 💜🦃

Caron’s Community is on a mission to provide 100 local families with a complete Thanksgiving meal, and our community businesses are stepping up to make it happen!

Here's how it works! Participating businesses are collecting frozen turkeys, hams, Thanksgiving meal donations, and gift cards to help us reach our goal. You can support the Turkey Takeover by donating through one of our participating businesses or directly to Caron’s Community!

🏆 WE DID IT — AGAIN! 💜

Caron’s Community has officially been named the 2026 CommunityVotes Killeen PLATINUM Winner for Community Organization — making this our second year in a row receiving Platinum! 🥹💜

And yes… we’re going to celebrate this one BIG.

Not because an award is why we do this work, but because of what this award represents.

Every clothing request we’ve answered. Every family we’ve helped through an unexpected situation. Every holiday meal, toy, resource connection, community event, and opportunity we’ve created for our youth. Every volunteer who showed up. Every business that partnered with us. Every person who donated, shared a post, made a connection, or simply said, “How can I help?”

That is Caron’s Community.

To be chosen by our community as the Platinum Community Organization two years in a row tells us that people see the work. They believe in the mission. And they trust us to keep showing up.

So today, we are VERY proudly celebrating this accomplishment. 🏆🏆

But this win doesn't belong to one person.

It belongs to all of us.

Thank you, Killeen. Thank you to everyone who voted. And thank you to every single person who continues to help us prove what can happen when a community takes care of its own. 💜

2025 PLATINUM 🏆
2026 PLATINUM 🏆

Community Today, Leaders Tomorrow. 💜

When something as simple as a tote, can change the whole process!

These were donated by 2 people who didn't do it for spotlight, but because they support what we do.

This is the beginning of the virtual closet and youth closet inventory. For those of you who followed our journey, you know the struggles and obstacles we deal with daily not having a building yet 🤣😎 But we always still work it out. We closed out a long time storage unit chapter last yr and this yr has been about making moves to bring back the inventory in a better way. 🫶

THANK YOU for believing in the mission still after so many years and always supporting us! ❤️
