T.O.T.A.L.'S 1ST ANNUAL BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE
This year’s Back-to-School Drive was a huge success thanks to the generosity of our amazing community! Together, we raised over $8,000 in cash, goods, and services — providing backpacks, school supplies, haircuts, food, and more to over 200 kids in our community. From local businesses to caring families and individuals, every gift helped ensure no child started the school year without the tools they need to succeed.
- 200+ kids received backpacks, supplies, and resources
- Free haircuts boosted student confidence
- Gift cards & treats encouraged families
- Our community came together to support the next generation
- T.O.T.A.L. Swag

T.O.T.A.L.'s Water drive💧
Our team at T.O.T.A.L. came together to host a community water drive! We handed out bottled water to local youth teams and members of our homeless community, doing our part to keep everyone hydrated and cared for. Small acts can make a big difference, and we’re proud to serve our community in meaningful ways.
T.O.T.A.L.'s 1st Annual Holiday Toy drive 🎁
T.O.T.A.L. Season of Giving!
This holiday toy drive was centered on generosity, community, and showing up for children and families who deserve to feel supported and celebrated. Through the kindness of our volunteers, donors, and partners, we were able to collect and distribute toys that brought real joy to so many kids during the holiday season. Moments like these remind us why T.O.T.A.L. exists: to create opportunities, spread hope, and make a tangible difference where it matters most. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped turn this effort into something truly special.
