Backpack Program 

Childhood hunger remains a critical issue, with more than 13.4 million young individuals facing nutritional gaps, that is roughly 1 in every 5 children. The Woodforest Charitable Foundation prioritizes this cause through the Backpack Program, providing school-aged children with backpacks filled with wholesome meals for weekends and holidays. This initiative ensures that students in need receive sustenance when school resources are unavailable, ultimately supporting their academic success and overall well-being. These efforts uplift families, providing resources where needed.

Compassion extends to our elderly and homebound neighbors, who often struggle with limited mobility or resources. The Woodforest Charitable Foundation collaborates with local agencies to deliver nutritious meals directly to seniors, fostering dignity and health. This service ensures isolation does not equate to deprivation, offering support for those unable to leave their residences. 

The Woodforest Charitable Foundation invests in initiatives that provide, safe, affordable residences for the working poor, addressing a fundamental need for stability. We partner with organizations dedicated to constructing affordable homes, ensuring families and individuals gain access to secure living spaces. Our collaborators, Habitat for Humanity and Helping a Hero, work tirelessly to support those experiencing homelessness through temporary shelter and resources. . 

Mental Health 

At the Woodforest Charitable Foundation, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We are proud to partner with non-profit organizations that provide accessible, compassionate care to individuals and families facing mental health challenges. Our funding helps expand access to counseling services, crisis intervention, community education, and support programs that break down stigma and open conversations. When we invest in mental wellness, we are not just changing individual lives- we are building communities where everyone can thrive.

We proudly fund innovative programs that address PTSD, homelessness, and career development. We recognize that serving our veterans is not just our responsibility- it is our honor. The men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our freedom deserve communities that stand ready to support them, and we are proud to be part of that mission.
