The TCF team supports Garland’s food insecure families

At TCF, philanthropy is guided by a core belief: businesses have a responsibility to give back to the communities they serve. Partnerships include:

After 8 to Educate.  Within this shelter for Dallas Independent School District (DISD) students, TCF funded an art therapy center and installed new natural quartzite countertops to elevate their kitchen. 

Broadway Dallas. TCF provided the opportunity for 3,400 DISD students to receive an eight-session curriculum and attend Broadway performance. 

Dallas Art Therapy. Increased the frequency of their open art studio and added classes specifically geared to veterans, teens and non-verbal autistic children.
