Giving Back, Gifts, And Gigabytes: Spreading Joy Across North Texas

This past December, the holiday spirit was in full swing at NOVOS FiBER as we set out on an ambitious mission: three gift drives, three cities, and countless smiles. With a heartfelt promise to double the joy, we donated over 300 gifts to SafeHaven of Tarrant County, over 200 gifts to Embrace in McKinney, and are continuing to count the gifts for the Rainbow Room in Rockwall. Our goal was simple: to bring holiday cheer to children in need across Arlington, McKinney, and Rockwall.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To the communities of Arlington, McKinney, and Rockwall: thank you. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to give made this gift drive an overwhelming success. Together, we brought holiday cheer to countless children and reminded ourselves of the true power of community.

Our Supported Organizations

Our success would not have been possible without the incredible organizations we partnered with, each playing a vital role in supporting vulnerable children, women, and families in their communities:

• SafeHaven in Arlington: Providing critical support for domestic violence survivors.

• Embrace in McKinney: Serving children in the foster care system.

• The Rainbow Room in Rockwall: Offering resources for children who have been abused or neglected.

These organizations embody compassion and care, and we were honored to contribute to their impactful work during the holiday season.

The Power of Social Media

Once the donation boxes were in place, we turned to our social media and email campaigns to spread the word. Instagram and Facebook came alive with posts celebrating the spirit of giving, and the response from our community was overwhelming. Day by day, the boxes filled with toys, games, and gifts—a testament to the generosity of those who answered the call.

Truckloads of Generosity

After two weeks, it was time to gather the donations, and what we found was nothing short of extraordinary. Truckloads of gifts—carefully chosen and lovingly donated—were ready to brighten the holidays for children who needed it most.

And true to our word, NOVOS FiBER matched every single donation, doubling the impact and ensuring twice the smiles.

A Special Thanks to Our Community Drop-Off Partners

Making the gift drive seamless and accessible were the incredible local businesses that stepped up to host our donation boxes. These partners not only provided space but actively championed the cause, encouraging their customers and staff to get involved:

• Nearly Famous Burgers & Hot Dogs in Arlington

• Planet Fitness in McKinney

• Ebby Halliday Office with The Welch Team in Rockwall

Community collaboration was key, and we are deeply grateful for their support and enthusiasm.

Looking Ahead

As we reflect on this incredible experience, we’re already looking forward to next year’s gift drive. We can’t wait to build on this year’s success and spread even more joy across our communities.

At NOVOS FiBER, we believe in more than just providing lightning-fast internet. We’re committed to building stronger, more connected communities. This gift drive is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together.

From all of us at NOVOS FiBER, thank you for helping us make this holiday season truly unforgettable. Here’s to doubling the joy—this year, next year, and beyond!
