Community Partnerships and Volunteer Opportunities in Waco, TX
Bird Kultgen Ford supports many local events and charities. Some of the organizations we work with include:
Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce
We're a partner of the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce, an organization that promotes business growth and community development in Central Texas. Our partnership with the organization boosts local entrepreneurship and creates opportunities that strengthen Waco's economy.
United Way of Waco-McLennan County
We also work with United Way of Waco-McLennan County, which focuses on improving education, health, and financial stability for families across the region. United Way plays a critical role in the local social support ecosystem because it helps raise funding for nonprofits committed to improving the quality of life for residents. Our support contributes to initiatives that have a direct impact on the lives of Waco residents and that make our community more resilient.
Baylor Bear Foundation
Bird Kultgen Ford is also a longtime supporter of the Baylor Bear Foundation, where we support student-athletes and the university's athletic programs. Our current leadership and many of our staff members have connections with Baylor. Funding the institution's scholarships and athletic programs ensures that students have the resources they need to succeed in academics and in sports.
Education, Health, and Agriculture Non-Profits
We also support the Shepherd's Heart Food Pantry, which provides groceries and meals for families experiencing food insecurity. The dealership also offers automotive scholarships to Texas State Technical College (TSTC) students to support their education. Supporting students at TSTC gives aspiring technicians the chance to gain the critical skills to build lifelong careers in the automotive industry.
Our community support initiatives also extend to the health sector. We offer free mammograms for those in need at the Baylor Scott and White Breast Center, ensuring that members of the community receive lifesaving screenings even if they can't afford one. For the agricultural community, we provide ongoing support for young farmers and ranchers at the McLennan County Livestock Sale.
Other charitable organizations that receive support from Bird Kultgen Ford include the Midway Education Foundation, the Brazos Education Foundation, and many other local charities focusing on agriculture, healthcare, skills acquisition, and so much more.
Volunteer Opportunities
At Bird Kultgen Ford, our team members volunteer their time and expertise to ensure the success of several local events. One such event was the Mustang raffle we helped Shepherd's Heart Food Pantry to organize. The fundraiser helped the organization raise much-needed funding while also providing the residents with an avenue to demonstrate their love for American muscle.
During the pandemic, our staff also volunteered at a social event that surprised healthcare workers at the Family Health Center with 500 breakfast burritos. We're always on the lookout for new ways to volunteer and connect with local causes, whether it's raising awareness about health issues, funding educational causes, or providing business opportunities for Waco residents. Feel free to reach out to us for partnerships on any events in the community, and we'll be glad to support you individually and as a corporate entity.
