Charity of Texas
Since 2018, we have partnered with Variety-the Children’s Charity of Texas, which supports children with special needs and their families by providing resources and empowering experiences.
At Variety’s Peaceable Kingdom Retreat for Children, Summit team members have created an organic garden, which includes a composting center, raised wicking beds, and hydroponics and aquaponics systems. The garden will be utilized by Variety’s summer camps as well as school field trips throughout the year to teach local students about sustainable farming techniques. In addition, we have resurfaced their putting green, completed various other improvement projects, and volunteered for charitable service events hosted for and by the organization.
