family support services

Domestic violence affects every city in every part of this country. There isn't a poster child for domestic violence. It can happen anywhere no matter your sex, color, orientation, or income.

Covid kept a lot of events away last year. So this is the year to bring them all back. One that we look forward to every summer is back. I am talking about the Harley Party to benefit Family Support Services.

Who is ready for a big party? When I say big party here in Amarillo one that may come to mind is the Harley Party. It is put on every, well almost every year, to support Family Support Services. Of course last year they were not able to go on. The party had to be cancelled.

We have heard several times that being healthy is important. I mean if we want to live longer that definitely helps. Being healthy is eighty percent diet and twenty percent exercise. Did you know that being kind is also important

So early on in 2020 things already hit Family Support Services hard. Their office in Downtown Amarillo had a fire. A lot of damages occurred. In fact their building was destroyed. So they already had to find a place to home them.

If I told you we as Amarilloan's were generous what would you think? We have seen it time and time again. It has especially been noticed during this year we call 2020. We have stepped up to help people. That is what being generous is all about.

As if Family Support Services has not been hit enough this year. First a fire that closed their location in Downtown Amarillo earlier this year and now this. In an announcement yesterday they have had to cancel this years Harley Party.

This is what I love about our community. Something tragic happens and we come together to help out our own. Every single time.

After last month's devastating fire ripped through Family Support Services, the community has come together to raise funds to get FSS back up on their feet.
