Wilson Area Children's Foundation

A great showing of our community yesterday for the 2nd Annual WACF Golf Tournament! Thank you to our sponsors and all our golfers! This event would not be possible without the involvement of our community, volunteers, and our board of directors organizing the event in the background. It was a great showing that will allow funding throughout the year for thanksgiving, Christmas, spring/summer clothing drive, and back-to-school events to support the children in the Wilson county area!

Pictures from our back to school event that was held on August 12th that supports kids in our community returning to school. This event aids in buying supplies for the coming school year to help prepare children and their families for a successful school year! WACF was able to support around 75 families from 5 school districts in the Wilson County area. We want to thank everyone for their support in holding this event and hope for a great year for all families in the 2023-2024 school year!

Getting excited about the golf tournament that is now 1 MONTH AWAY!! Here is a sneak peek at one of the items that will be in the auction! This is a speciality domino set celebrating the 200 years of service from our Texas Rangers.

Our hearts are with those in Uvalde following the unspeakable tragedy in their community. We can’t take away their pain, but we want to help these families in any way we can.

On June 23, participating McDonald’s restaurants across Texas will donate 10% of sales between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to the Uvalde Fund at Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio, Texas and the Robb School Memorial Fund.

Great seeing the community come together for a local family!

" It takes a village to raise a child."
Some may say that in todays society, there are no villages left- that are willing to help their neighbors- families that for whatever reason, are going through a difficult season. In Floresville, Wilson County TX we respectfully disagree! Thanks to a generous outpouring of time and resources from our volunteers and community partners, numerous families of school aged children will be able to wake up to warm meals and presents under the tree. This holiday season, we are grateful for our village. We are especially grateful for those in our community that put their words into action.
