Children of Port O’Connor were a tremendous help in providing food for those in need during this holiday season. At the Port O’Connor School, a food drive was held from November 11 through November 22, which resulted in the collection of over 1,800 items given for the Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets. Additionally, the First Baptist Church youth, together with our local 4-H club conducted two food drives to supplement our local Food Pantry.

We are very proud of our Port O’Connor kids!

Letter to the Dolphin…
“We are incredibly thankful for the amazing response from our school community during the POC Elementary food drive. The effort put forth by our students was truly inspiring. They demonstrated creativity and teamwork that made this event such a success. The tremendous amount of food collected speaks volumes about their dedication and their character they put into helping others. We are so proud of them and grateful for everyone who contributed!” –
Sheryl Haynes 2nd Grade Teacher

This generous “elf” was one of the boaters who made it through bad weather to deliver toys to our kids in the 19th annual Freeport to Port O’Connor Toy Run.

In addition to the 60 Port O’Connor children who were part of the Adopt-An-Angel program, the Toy Run brought enough toys to give to: Bluebonnet Youth Ranch
Point Comfort Volunteer Fire Department
Seadfift School
Magnolia Beach Fire Department
The Harbor
Seadrift Police Department
Austwell-Tivoli ISD
Port Lavaca Sheriff’s Department
HJM School

Locals helped unload the toys which were taken to the Community Center where many helpers sorted them.
