Community Testimonials

The power of community voices

“We are SO grateful for Bastrop County Cares and their love for the folks of our town. We attended a Veteran’s bowling night last year and we met some awesome people. It turned us on to bowling and we now bowl in two leagues and have made friends with many people. If it hadn’t been for Bastrop County Cares I don’t think we ever would’ve ventured out. Thank you for everything y’all do & offer! ❤️”

“I am so thankful that Bastrop County Cares exists.  Maggie and her Supervisor Linda provided me with guidance and help in a very tough situation.  Because of them I was able to get a breast exam, get food for my children and even sign up for computer classes. They are God sent.”

“My husband and I love indulging in delicious pizzas and refreshing drinks while sharing exciting bowling nights with our wonderful veterans and family members! The atmosphere is filled with laughter, playful jokes, and plenty of smiles all around. It’s truly a joyful time that brings us all closer together!”

“Bowling night gives local Veterans a chance to mix, mingle, laugh and have fellowship with one another, eat and bowl, and have fun with one another. I see fellow Vets helping other veterans with rest and actually support each other which is a blessing to see. Some wounds go deep so being able to talk to other Vets helps.”

“I’m so grateful to Bastrop County Cares for finding me a ride and sending a wonderful driver, Alma DeShay. She was such an easy person to talk to. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

“I just want to share what a difference it’s made having someone take my dad to his doctor’s appointments and getting him added to the Meals on Wheels program. It’s been such a blessing for my 91-year-old father and is truly helping people who might otherwise be more isolated. Thank you, Cyndy!”
