Where You Shop Matters...
When our shops don't have what you need, try our ebay store, or make your purchases using Amazon Smile, just select The Caring Place!
|
Occasionally, we find some treasures that sell better in an
ebay store. Shop there too and know your purchases still support The Caring Place!
|
Love shopping on Amazon? Use
Amazon Smile and, at no additional cost to you, donations are made to The Caring Place. Just choose The Caring Place as your non-profit
choice.

Eating for Good continues this fall for one more huge giving day! Join us on Tuesday, September 3rd at Fish City Grill in Wolf Ranch Shopping Center for a meal and 15% of your purchase will be donated to The Caring Place!
|
Tickets are NOW ON SALE for Deep in the Heart of Caring. Join us October 5th for our biggest fundraiser of the year. Dinner & dancing, live & silent auctions and a live cattle round up are waiting for you at Schwertner Ranch Event Center. Who's our featured artist this year? Country Music Award Winner, Rick Trevino! Buy tickets today at www.caringplacetx.org/deepintheheart.

- Do you already have plans on October 5th and can't attend Deep in the Heart of Caring? It's ok, we want to tell you how you can help The Caring Place without attending Deep in the Heart of Caring. This year we are including a special campaign called, "Be the Light of Caring" and you can donate until October 5th. Why do we need the "Be the Light of Caring" campaign? In 2018, The Caring Place contributed $168,093 to help neighbors with utility bills. This year we hope the Deep in the Heart of Caring event will allow us to cover most of that cost. Contributions to this special "Be the Light of Caring" campaign will be combined with our Deep in the Heart fundraising efforts to help us reach our goal. We are already 45% there! To learn more, view our fundraising thermometer or to find the donate link, visit us at www.caringplacetx.org/deepintheheart.
