We have been going through our news items to see things we have published in the past. It’s amazing the stories we have done, and the people we have met. It has been an enjoyable experience.
I was prepping for something else I am doing and was looking at the many ways you help our communities. It’s a sight to see the things you do for the Valley and the communities you live in.
You don’t just come here for a few months – you become a part of the community and find out ways you can help and really immerse yourselves in the Valley.
I found stories about food drives, benefit concerts, quilts for colonias being made, schools benefiting from donated socks, and so much more.
I also found one story about how a food pantry acknowledged the tapering off of their donations when Winter Texans begin to leave the Valley.
You are recognized and the Valley communities appreciate everything you do for them.
We recognize you and appreciate everything you do for us and our communities. Without you we wouldn’t have much to tell. We love filling our pages with all the things you do. Whether it be donating your time or items to a local charity or just getting out there and playing a round of golf or getting together with friends for dessert – we love seeing these moments and sharing them with our readers.
With that being said, we want your news. Share your news and photos with us. We want to know what you are doing and share it with others.
You can send items to news@wintertexantimes.com.
