CUERO, TX — In a heartfelt gesture of community support, Denise Goebel, representing Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and the Hometown Harvest Committee, presented a $500 donation to the Friends of DeWitt County Children during the organization’s meeting on Monday night.
The donation, made on behalf of the Hometown Harvest Committee, underscores the group’s ongoing commitment to nurturing local partnerships and investing in the well-being of children across DeWitt County. The funds will help support essential services and outreach efforts aimed at meeting the needs of vulnerable youth in the area.
“This contribution will make a meaningful impact as we continue working to support our community’s kids,” said a spokesperson for Friends of DeWitt County Children. “We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity and shared vision of the Hometown Harvest Committee.”
The Hometown Harvest Committee, known for organizing seasonal events that celebrate local agriculture and community resilience, has increasingly focused on channeling proceeds and sponsorships toward youth-centered initiatives. Monday’s donation reflects that mission in action.
Goebel, a longtime advocate for family and youth programming through AgriLife, emphasized the importance of collaboration between civic groups and service organizations.
The Friends of DeWitt County Children continue to provide resources, advocacy, and support for children in need, and this latest donation will help expand their reach as the fall season brings new challenges and opportunities.
