At 1PointFive, we believe in the power of collective responsibility to create a brighter future for the communities we operate in. We are proud of the positive impact we made in Texas and Louisiana through volunteer work, donations, and strategic partnerships in 2024. Here are a few of the initiatives that helped our team and our partners give back throughout the year.

Bringing Books to Students with the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation

We supported the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation's “My Home Library” program, putting books directly into the hands of young readers. Through our sponsorship, we distributed over 42,000 books to elementary students across Livingston Parish, Allen Parish, Chambers County, and Nueces County.

Keeping the Coast Clean with the Corpus Christi Hooks

Our partnership with the Corpus Christi Hooks for the Coastal Paddle Cleanup saw volunteers contributing 27 hours of work and collecting 80 Up2U bags of trash. Keeping the coast clean helps support local wildlife and recreational activities of residents in the area. Together, we protected our coastal environment and inspired others to take action for cleaner communities.

Encouraging Outdoor Fun with Wish for Wheels

Through Wish for Wheels, 1PointFive volunteers donated 210 hours to assemble and distribute 340 bikes to children. By providing these bikes, we encouraged outdoor play, physical activity, and joy in our neighborhoods.

Sparking Creativity with Boys and Girls Club of Kingsville

We partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Kingsville to set up a science lab that brings hands-on learning experiences to kids. By investing in STEM opportunities, we’re igniting curiosity and empowering the next generation of innovators.

Fighting Hunger with West Texas Food Bank

During Hunger Action Month, we collaborated with the West Texas Food Bank to serve 220 meals, provided $4,000 to plant a butterfly garden, and donated 4,400 pounds of food to families in need. This multifaceted approach demonstrates our commitment to addressing food insecurity and environmental sustainability simultaneously.

Supporting Families with Communities in Schools of the Coastal Bend

To ensure families in Kleberg and Nueces Counties had holiday meals, we teamed up with Communities in Schools of the Coastal Bend to provide $125 H-E-B gift cards to 400 families. By the end of the year, this support reached a total of 800 families—a testament to the impact we have when we come together.

Planting Trees with the Houston Texans

In partnership with the Houston Texans TD for Trees initiative, we planted 71 trees—symbolizing 1.5 trees for every touchdown the Texans scored this season. These trees contribute to greener, healthier spaces in our local communities.

Hope in Action

Through every book distributed, meal served, bicycle gifted, coast cleaned, tree planted, and science lab supported, 1PointFive is proud to embody hope and collective responsibility. Thank you to our volunteers, partners, and everyone who made 2024 a year of impactful giving. Together, we can continue to make a difference and inspire others to do the same into 2025 and beyond.
