The relaxing days of summer are winding down and soon school bells will be ringing for children across the country! This seems like the perfect month to help children start the school year on a most positive note with growing expectations and opportunities for success. Two charities stood out in our charity nominations that truly target helping children with support at the very local level and promoting achievement in school and life.
We are thrilled to donate a portion of the Cable Tie Express profits in August to By the Hand and Communities in Schools of South Central Texas. It is our hope that both charities put this money to good use, empowering children to work hard, stay in school, and maximize the quality of their lives as well as influencing others in a most positive way!
Here’s a snapshot of these amazing charities!
By The Hand
By The Hand is a Chicago-based after school program committed to serving children from the most under-resourced, dangerous neighborhoods and in critical need of intervention.
Founded in 2001, By the Hand this year is serving 1,523 children with a target for 2020 of helping nearly 2,000 lowest performing children succeed in school and in life.

Communities In Schools South Central Texas
Founded over 25 years ago, Communities In Schools South Central Texas helps students (grades K-12) achieve in schools, graduate, and be successful throughout their lives.

Case-managed students receive targeted services such as supportive guidance/counseling, mental health intervention, health/human services (basic life needs such as shelter, food, and clothing), tutoring, and college preparation assistance.
