Sometimes moving forward means being willing to pivot.
Last month, we made the decision to simplify FOUND.’s operations, reduce our overhead, and operate from our two warehouses...keeping our resources focused as much as possible on what matters most: serving students and the educators who care for them every day.
And then Lubbock reminded us, once again, what it looks like when a community rallies around a mission.
Our front warehouse needed an HVAC system to make the space functional and comfortable for our volunteers, educators and all the work happening there.
Sinclair Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing Inc. donated the HVAC system.
An electrician donated his time.
Labor was provided to us at a significantly reduced cost.
And generous FOUND. donors stepped in to cover that remaining cost.
We are incredibly grateful to Sinclair Heating, Cooling, & Plumbing Inc., to the professionals who donated their time and reduced their costs, and to the donors who made the rest possible.
Our warehouse is cooler...and our hearts are pretty warm.
Thank you for continuing to believe in FOUND. as we grow, learn, pivot and keep finding the best way forward.
