The Panhandle Gives is an annual event hosted and coordinated by the Amarillo Area Foundation (AAF). The event begins on the Monday before Thanksgiving and ends on the global day of giving, known as Giving Tuesday. The Panhandle Gives continues to be a focused effort of the Amarillo Area Foundation to support, empower, and encourage collaboration among nonprofits across the twenty-six counties of the Texas Panhandle.
These donations help to provide funding for furnished homes, operating costs, and daily living expenses. These things along with the love and support from the Cottages allow the parent in homelessness and poverty to live with their children while obtaining their college degree. This degree not only offers a sense of pride and accomplishment, but enables parents to support their children through a career, which will provide the families with financial stability and hope. It is the objective of Eveline’s Sunshine Cottage to break the cycle of poverty, and for parents to become strong, productive role models for their children, thus moving the whole family off of the government system.
The Eveline Blanket is a fabulous ways and means project for Eveline’s Sunshine Cottage. Created in 2014, these blankets are hand made at Eveline’s Sunshine Cottage workplace, and the monies raised are used directly to benefit the single Moms and their children who live in Eveline’s Sunshine Cottage.
Proceeds from these beautiful and luxurious throws help our moms pay for their college education.
