Thank you for making United Way of Midland’s Week of Caring an incredible success! Through the generosity and teamwork of our staff, volunteers, and community partners, we made a meaningful and immediate impact on local families in need.
This year, more than 3,200 pounds of food were collected, sorted, and delivered to eight local food pantries—each playing a vital role in supporting families across Midland County. These donations directly strengthen smaller community-based pantries that often operate with limited resources yet serve an essential and growing need.
Our partner pantries shared heartfelt appreciation for the support:
- One pantry shared that they feed more than 150 families, emphasizing how essential this food is to their weekly operations.
- Another expressed how excited their families will be to receive these items, noting that donations like these bring hope and comfort to those who need it most.
- A third noted that they are feeding more families due to the government shutdown, something they haven’t experienced since the pandemic, making this support especially timely.
None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers. Throughout the week, volunteers picked up, sorted, and distributed donations with enthusiasm and care. We are especially grateful to the teams from ExxonMobil, CNB, SPM Oil & Gas, and Faith Temple Church for their hard work and positive energy, which helped make the entire process seamless and impactful.
We also extend a heartfelt thank-you to our partners who hosted internal food drives or served as community drop-off locations: Blue Sky Midland, H-E-B, ExxonMobil, Vital Energy, MISD, Midland College, Kendra Scott, Henry Resources, Midland Board of Realtors, and United Way of Midland. Your commitment and generosity played a key role in bringing this initiative to life.
Together, we demonstrated the power of community, compassion, and collective action. Thank you for showing what it truly means to care for our neighbors. Your support will have a lasting impact on families throughout Midland and Martin Counties.
