ETSA Giving and TSA Donations

1 min readBy ETSA

Back in December 2025, our ETSA community collected Toys for Tots and Coats for the Cold at our meetup. This was wildly successful, with 22 coats and 31 toys collected for the holiday season! When they were dropped off, we were informed that most KARM locations were out of coats, and they were immensely grateful for these extra and necessary donations. We’re incredibly grateful to our community for helping support our local community. As part of ETSA’s local community involvement and nonprofit status, we’re focusing our efforts on how we can impact our local community even more as part of our 2026 goals and beyond.

With our future meetups, we will be working with local partners in our community to determine ways we can better make an impact. Our current proposals include a day at Young-Williams doing dog walks and helping with cleanup, participating in a Habitat for Humanity home build, and volunteering at Second Harvest. Our board is hard at work finding these opportunities, and we hope to make them a reality in 2026.

Sincerely, Wesley Kirkland Andy Cowell Ben Taylor Alex Franklin
