The Community Wellness Event held at the Harvest Manor Facility marked a powerful and impactful launch of AAYHF services in Manor, Texas. The event welcomed over 100 families, providing access to food, essential resources, and direct support through the collaboration of more than 20 vendors and service providers.

Distinguished attendees included Mayor Harvey, City Manager Scott Moore, representatives from Senator Eckhardt’s Office, District Attorney José Garza, Central Health, HTRC, Austin Public Health, Travis County Health and Human Services, and numerous nonprofit partners. Their presence underscored the importance of this initiative and the strong commitment to community wellness.

Feedback from city leadership and community members was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees shared that this level of access and connection to resources “is exactly what was needed,” and many described witnessing so many families being served at once as “truly a blessing.”

The event also inspired strong community engagement, with many residents signing up to volunteer and support future efforts. In response to this momentum, AAYHF is preparing to launch a community food pantry in the coming weeks, with dedicated service hours for families in Manor.

The AAYHF Board extends sincere appreciation to Manor ISD, the Manor City Council, and the City Manager for their support in making this event possible and for their continued partnership in delivering vital programs and services to the community, youth, and families.

Families expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to access clothing, shoes, food, healthcare services, counseling, and employment resources—all in one location. Due to the overwhelming success of the event, plans are already underway to host another community wellness event within the next two weeks.
