Hope Supply Co. provides diapers for Buckner families and children in North Texas. Posted on July 3, 2026 More mothers and children in North Texas will receive critical supplies and support due to a collaboration between Hope Supply Co. and Buckner International. Hope Supply Co. is the largest children's diaper and critical needs bank in Texas. Two years ago, the organization hit their milestone of distributing 25 million diapers. They serve a network of 70-plus partner agencies including homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, pantries, hospitals, and clinics. The supplies they distribute go to families and children that need these resources most. Hope Supply Co. has generously committed to providing Buckner Children and Family Services with diapers, formula, wipes, hygiene items for babies, and PediaSure for older children. These supplies will benefit the families who are enrolled in Buckner programs such as maternity services, Buckner Family Hope Centers and Buckner Family Pathways in the Dallas area. Families in Texas on average pay over $100 monthly per child on diapers. Low-income families often report that diaper need is their greatest financial burden. "In Dallas County alone, 87,000 babies and toddlers don't have adequate access to enough diapers to keep them clean, dry and healthy," states Hope Supply Co. Filling the gap in Dallas County would require at least 52,225,800 diapers annually. For many families, the gift of these supplies will allow them to ensure that other needs are being met for their households. Buckner maternity services provide counseling and support to pregnant women, postpartum moms, and anyone else in the family unit who needs encouragement. Buckner's licensed, bilingual counselors can walk with women at any stage in their motherhood journey.

Buckner receives Service Enterprise accreditation for volunteer integration. Posted on May 28, 2026 In March 2025, Buckner Children and Family Services embarked on a journey to pursue Service Enterprise accreditation through Points of Light and the Association of Leaders in Volunteer Engagement (AL!VE). Service Enterprise is a nationally recognized framework that helps organizations strategically integrate volunteers across all areas of mission delivery and operations. In May 2026, Buckner Children and Family Services officially received the accreditation. Service Enterprise accredited organizations are considered among the top 11% of nonprofits nationally in strategic volunteer engagement and organizational performance. This distinction reflects an organization-wide commitment to effectively leveraging volunteers to strengthen mission impact, organizational capacity, community engagement, and operational excellence. Over the past year, this process has challenged Buckner to evaluate and strengthen many areas related to volunteer engagement and organizational readiness, including: * Leadership support and organizational alignment * Volunteer risk management and safeguarding practices * Cross-department collaboration * Training and onboarding systems * Strategic planning and annual forecasting * Data tracking and impact measurement * Community partnership development * Volunteer integration into mission delivery This achievement would not have been possible without the support and collaboration of leaders and teams across the organization. The accreditation process highlighted the strong foundation already present within Buckner while also helping develop new systems, tools, and practices that will support long-term sustainability and mission growth. From a broader organizational perspective, this accreditation reinforces Buckner's commitment to excellence, stewardship, innovation, and community engagement.

Richmond Rotary marks 25 years of global shoe drive impact. Thu, 04/30/2026 - 16:25 Posted in: A decades-long effort by the Richmond Rotary Club is continuing to make a global impact, as the organization marks 25 years of collecting shoes for children in need. The effort is part of the "Shoes for Orphan Souls" project, a partnership between Rotary District 6040 and Buckner International that has spanned 25 years. Through the program, Rotary clubs across the district collect new shoes, socks and monetary donations, which are then shipped to a humanitarian aid warehouse in the Dallas, Texas, area before being distributed to orphanages and vulnerable children around the world. The initiative brings together 51 clubs in north and north-central Missouri, each contributing to a shared goal of meeting critical needs for children who often lack basic necessities. Richmond's role in the effort has remained consistent since the project began, with the local Rotary club participating in each of the past 25 years. Richmond also served as a regional hub for this year's collection,...
