Holidays

In 2022, the Pete & Thomas Foundation partnered with three community organizations:

We worked with Covenant House Texas to fulfill 14 Christmas wish lists for their young adult residents. Covenant House Texas is a faith-based organization committed to giving homeless youth a safe haven, absolute respect, unconditional love, and a path to lasting independence. 

We partnered with Pay Away the Layaway to cover the layaway balances of 42 families so they could provide loved ones with holiday gifts and toys. Pay Away the Layaway is a national nonprofit with the mission to inspire hope and spread kindness.

With Twelve Days of Christmas, we surprised 3 families with furniture and other necessities during the holiday season which included a mother with MS, a cancer survivor, and a grandparent.

In 2023, the Pete & Thomas Foundation partnered with three past community partners

With Pay Away the Layaway, we doubled the support and covered the layaway balances of over 90 families in Houston. Families were able to bring home toys, clothing, and other necessities for the holidays. Pay Away the Layaway is a national nonprofit with the mission to inspire hope and spread kindness.

For a second year in a row, we have worked with Twelve Days of Christmas to identify families who endured immeasurable loss but continue to keep their families together and take care of their grandchildren. We surprised four grandparents and their families with furniture, toys, tools, and other necessities during the holiday season.

We partnered with AVDA a non-profit organization based in Houston, TX that works with survivors of domestic violence, and provided a holiday self-care gift package to 40 women that included a Target gift card, a journal, an adult coloring book, bath/spa items, body wash, and a robe.
