At Southwest Texas Eyecare Associates, we believe in and support our community by giving back to high school seniors from both of our local high schools, Eagle Pass High School and C.C. Winn High School. Last year alone we contributed $4,000 in scholarships to help ease the financial burden for our local students seeking higher education.
Our passion and desire are to give back to our youth. We know they are our future. Over the years, Southwest Texas Eyecare Associates has contributed financially to the Eagle Pass Youth Center in order to help support drug-free youth basketball teams.
Since 2016, Southwest Texas Eyecare Associates has contributed with a monthly financial donation to help support a non-profit organization dear to our heart, The Buddy Foundation. The Buddy Foundation was created to provide an alternative for homeless pets throughout our community by giving them a second chance at a happy life. They have rescued hundreds of homeless pets in need and provided them with veterinary care, spaying/neutering, vaccines, and foster homes while they await adoption. They have successfully placed hundreds of rescues in loving homes throughout our community as well as homes in surrounding Texas communities including San Antonio, Austin, San Marcos, El Paso, Round Rock, and Houston.
Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, delivers gift-filled shoeboxes to boys and girls around the world for Christmas. Our very own staff and their children created and shipped 50 gift-filled shoe boxes to donate to needy children around the world for Christmas. Our goal is to increase the number of Christmas boxes we are able to collect and donate each year!
