The Panhandle Gives campaign starts MondayMultiple Dalhart organizations participating BY BILL KELLY The Panhandle Gives, led by the Amarillo Area Foundation (AAF), is now in its ninth year and its aim is to help non-profit organizations in the top 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle to raise funds to provide services to their local residents. The campaign officially begins this coming Monday, November 24, and will continue until Tuesday December 2.. There is an extra benefit to participating in The Panhandle Gives—for any participating organization that raises at least $250, they will receive “amplification funds†from the AAF. $11.7 million was raised by The Panhandle Gives last year. Donors may donate to their favorite organizations by writing their check to The Panhandle Gives and in the memo line write the name of the organization. The organizations must deposit checks during the designated dates of the campaign, so between November 24 and December 2. Donors may also give online during these dates by going to the website at www.thepanhandlegives. org and selecting the organization or organizations they wish to receive the funds. Some organizations have also created QR codes that can be scanned by smart phones and take a donor straight to that organization’s page. Nine of Dalhart’s nonprofits are collaborating to educate the community about the benefits of giving through The Panhandle Gives-Amplify Dalhart. CASA 69, XIT Museum, Brick Street Community Center, Good Samaritan Food Bank, Dallam Hartley Counties Healthcare Foundation, Snak Pak 4 Kids, Meals on Wheels, Dalhart Pregnancy Resource Center, and Rahll Activity Center are the Dalhart nonprofit organizations that are participating in The Panhandle Gives for 2025. The Dalhart Texan received short descriptions of the organizations and their goal during The Panhandle Gives. Each of these is included in this edition of the Dalhart Texan in a separate article.
