Cars for Kids partnered with Project Love Love this holiday season to deliver smiles, hope, and generosity to young parents and their children at Texans Can Academies - Pleasant Grove and Oak Cliff. This inspiring gift distribution event brought holiday cheer to students and their families, showcasing the power of community and compassion during the festive season.

Held at Texans Can Academies - Pleasant Grove and Oak Cliff, the event provided a platform for both organizations to come together in support of at-risk students and their families. Gifts were distributed to young parents and their children, reflecting a shared mission to spread kindness and uplift those in need.

“Cars for Kids is committed to giving back to the community that supports us,” said Cheryl Sutterfield-Jones, CEO of Cars for Kids. “Partnering with Project Love Love allows us to amplify our efforts to make a real difference in the lives of these young parents and their children. This event is about more than just gifts; it’s about hope, encouragement, and community support.”

Project Love Love, a nonprofit based in Fort Worth, has long been dedicated to serving those in need across Dallas and Tarrant Counties. Their mission to foster kindness and compassion aligns perfectly with Cars for Kids’ dedication to supporting education and empowering students to achieve their dreams.

"Through this partnership, we’re able to create meaningful moments that truly matter," said Lisa Aschenberg, President of Project Love Love. "The joy we see on the faces of these young parents and their children is a testament to what can be accomplished when communities come together."

Texans Can Academies, a network of charter schools designed to help at-risk students earn their high school diplomas, provides a vital second chance for students seeking to create better futures for themselves and their families. Events like this demonstrate the critical role of community support in the students’ success stories.
