Genesis Gives Back
Joyfully Shopping with Project Joy!
Project Joy is another Genesis community partner making a difference in the lives of people in need every Christmas. Project Joy shares God’s love through a box of food and gifts under the tree. And this year…WOW! A record crowd turned up to go shopping! We are grateful for our friends at Project Joy, who are the hands and feet of Christ. We are also thankful for such a generous community of people who give their time, talents, and treasures to help others.

Genesis Family Night with Santa!
If you heard gales of laughter echoing across East Texas the other night, not to worry, it was probably us. Our Genesis family came together for a night with Santa, and we stuffed stockings for our friends at PATH - People Attempting to Help. Santa and the GenElves will hand out these stockings next week, helping PATH spread love to the families they serve.
Merry Christmas from the Genesis family!

Days like this remind us of just how blessed we are to partner with folks like The Fostering Collective. Their team pours love, support, and hope into foster families across East Texas, making sure kids have what they need not just to get by, but to flourish.
We are grateful for the joy they spread and the way they reflect the love of Christ in our community. To the Fostering Collective team and every family they serve: may this Christmas be filled with joy and peace!

The Annual HERO Christmas Party with Gold Network of East Texas! 🎁
Joy was everywhere this weekend as more than 100 incredible heroes and their families came together to celebrate the season. The day kicked off with hot cocoa and a visit from Jolly ol’ Saint Nick at Nobilitea, followed by an over-the-top Christmas celebration at Haute Totz, complete with games, Buddy the Elf, Comet the Reindeer, and a free shopping spree for each family!
Our Genesis elves were thrilled to join in, handing out puzzles, games, and goody bags. It’s an honor to support Gold Network as they surround childhood cancer families with comfort, joy, and community during the holidays.

Ding dong! Genesis Delivers!
This is what it’s all about for us. Sure, the shopping was a ton of fun, but helping spread happiness and presents to people through our community partners is the most rewarding part by far!
Last week, Santa’s helpers dropped off wrapped gifts to The Children's Advocacy Center of Smith County, The Hand Up Network, The Salvation Army, and The Tyler-Smith County Child Welfare Board. Each organization plays a vital role in connecting with and serving the people of East Texas. They are our heroes. We are incredibly blessed to live in such a great place and be surrounded by so many great people!
Fire up that sleigh, Rudolph! There’s more to come!

✨ Pure MAGIC! ✨
It’s the biggest, brightest, most joy-packed night of the year: Genesis Goes Shopping! 🛒
Throughout the year, our team has quietly set aside a portion of every paycheck for the Genesis Gives Back fund. And tonight is when all those small acts of generosity turn into overflowing carts, huge smiles, and Christmas magic for families in our community.
Armed with wish lists from families involved with our incredible community partners, the Genesis family invades Walmart on a mission to make this season brighter for kids and families who deserve to feel the love. Honestly, it is the best way we know to kick off the holidays. Ho ho hooooo!

Genesis Family Night at “Oh What A Night” at Whataburger!
Last evening, area Whatataburgers joined with law enforcement and other first responders, along with local businesses and individuals across Smith County, to raise $29,888.16 for kids to shop with a cop at this year’s annual Blue Santa Event!
The Genesis family enjoyed a great night out for a worthy cause. Afterwards, we assembled at Walmart on Troup Highway in Tyler for our annual Christmas shopping spree! Be watching for images and video…coming soon!

It was another incredible turnout as hundreds of people gathered again for the 11th Annual Thanksgiving-Eve Bed Build with Grace Embedded at Green Acres Baptist Church. It was a beehive of activity as people worked hard to construct 100 beds that will soon belong to 100 children facing foster or kinship placement in our community. But the ministry of Grace EmBEDded is not about the beds; it is all about the hundreds of children they help feel seen, safe, and valued. It’s about these children experiencing the love of Jesus in a tangible and loving way.
We are especially grateful for the servant-leader hearts at Genesis eBONDS and The Genesis Group, who rolled up their sleeves to make a real difference in East Texas.

We love our community partners! They provide the opportunity for us to engage with the people in our area and minister to them in whatever way we can. We are the ones who end up feeling the most blessed. That’s what #GenesisGivesBack is all about.
PATH - People Attempting to Help is a great example of organizations on the frontlines of making a difference in the lives of others. PATH’s mission is simple and powerful: meeting the needs of East Texans with dignity, compassion, and hope. A part of that mission is helping our kids stay warm in the winter.
Our Genesis family had the privilege of participating in their annual Coats for Kids distribution at First Presbyterian Church in Tyler. So much love was packed into our short time together. To make the day even more special, Santa and his elves made an appearance! It was the perfect way to kick off our Season of Giving. Ho ho ho!

⚾ Where Every Player is a Hero ⚾
This weekend, Genesis had the absolute joy of being player buddies for some remarkable young athletes at Miracle League Field at Faulkner Park in Tyler!
The Miracle League of Tyler is a nonprofit that makes baseball accessible for children with physical or cognitive disabilities. Here, the field is designed with wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches in mind. Here, the love for the game shines brighter than any scoreboard.
Every high five, every cheer, and every ear-to-ear grin is proof that the game truly belongs to everyone. Being there, helping dreams come alive on the diamond was a grand slam home run in more ways than one.

You could say things are B-E-E-U-tiful at Genesis! 🐝
We had a blast participating in the PAVE East Texas annual Corporate Spelling Bee! Even better, Team Genesis took home first place and the Spirit Award!
The real win? Standing alongside PAVE in support of the education programs they provide to our community.
Special thanks to Abby Floyd from PAVE for stopping by our offices!
