TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – 331 East Texas nonprofits are asking for support on East Texas Giving Day.
The online giving marathon is set for Tuesday, April 28. It’s the biggest fundraiser of the year for many local nonprofits.
“Last couple of years we’ve brought in over three million dollars through the event,” said Kyle Penney, the president of the East Texas Communities Foundation.
There’s a wide variety of non-profits, from Animal Shelters to orchestras.
Some organizations, like Tyler Street Team are receiving matching donations.
“Everybody from Tyler Street Team has helped a whole lot,” said Kyle Brown.
Brown was recently experiencing homelessness. Volunteers with the Street team connected him to resources and found him housing.
“It’s a miracle, not that I didn’t trust God that he could do that for anyone, but it’s taken a lot of hard work and suffering for him as well,” said Executive Director Shana Yates.
