QUARTER 1, 2021
Happy New Year from Irving Cares!
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought changes to the way we work, learn, gather with friends and family, and carry out our personal business. To stay safe, we collectively shifted to virtual work, school and socializing; we changed how we shop for groceries and other essentials; and we learned how to enjoy virtual gatherings or events and smaller in-person get-togethers. Collectively, we have struggled to adapt to major changes to our way of life—but we’ve all worked at it to keep ourselves, our loved ones and community members safe.
What it means to C.A.R.E.
Irving Cares is a pillar in the Irving community, providing services that meet basic needs and elevate thousands of families each year. But have you ever wondered how we got here?

In 1957, in the wake of a dangerous and destructive tornado, a group of concerned citizens came together, in the interest of those in need, and organized what was called Irving Aid. In 1963, Irving Aid was incorporated by the laws of the state of Texas.
