Texas Military Family Foundation Announces Three Recent Grants

(PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Texas Military Families Foundation (www.tmff.us) is thrilled to acknowledge three recent grants from a diverse cross section of companies. The organization provides programs and services to men and women in the military, serving the US with bravery and honor.

The Dallas Foundation from the Triad Funds gave $25,000 earmarked to meet soldier's needs in the State of Texas. The Dallas Foundation is Texas' oldest community foundation and acts as a catalyst for philanthropy in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Texas Resources for Iraq Afghanistan Deployment (TRIAD) exists to support current and former military personnel serving in both theatre and their families.

AT&T raised $4,500 and donated a customized 12' trailer to TMFF. The money was raised as part of the second annual AT&T Pioneer Texas Bike Run in September. The trailer will help TMFF travel around the state and organize supply drives.

The Art for Soldiers Foundation gave money which will help TMFF purchase a large, flat screen TV for their media room. The TV is used by soldiers who wish to hook up their video game systems.

"We thank these organizations for sharing their resources, so we can serve our brave fighting men and women," said Julie Curtis-Win, executive director of TMFF.

About Texas Military Families Foundation

Housed on-site at Fort Hood, TMFF's mandate is to provide a comforting place and useful services to military personnel, bravely serving Uncle Sam. Their 24 hr. facility provides soldiers with use of computers, printers, big screen TV's and a kitchen. They also provide a snack and drink at the soldier readiness processing sites, where soldiers spend long hours briefing, making wills, and getting medical and dental clearance to go forward and fight the Global War on Terrorism.

"As long as our young men and women are called upon to rid our world of the terrorists that threaten us and so many others, it is our duty as Americans to stand up, and live up to being the greatest nation in the world," Curtis-Win said,

TMFF relies solely on donations from companies and organizations who wish to help the foundation continue their mission of serving the men and women who serve the United States. From all colors on the political spectrum, people can come together and stand with the honorable young men and women who, only with great personal sacrifice, endure the harsh realities that come with military service, yet serve with valor and distinction. www.tmff.us

Currently, TMFF is looking for funding or in-kind donations for 1,000 turkeys to provide holiday meals to troops and their families. Some may not have the opportunity to celebrate the holidays without TMFF's generosity.
