A Toast to Impact: Arrow’s Mission Supported through Spec’s Partnership

What happens when community meets opportunity? For Arrow Child & Family Ministries, the answer came in the form of more than 18,000 small acts of kindness during a powerful month-long partnership with Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods.

Throughout May, Arrow was featured as Spec’s “Charity of the Month” in all 75 Houston-area locations, coordinating perfectly with Foster Care Awareness Month. At checkout, customers had the chance to donate directly to Arrow, with flat giving options starting at just $1.

We are proud to announce the final donation amount came to $29,867!

“It was incredibly meaningful to see our mission resonate with the community and to receive support from a partner like Spec’s.” Raven Green Arrow’s Director of Development said.

In total, 18,374 customers said “yes” to giving. Each dollar raised will be reinvested into essential programs that support children entering foster care.

“Our programs are designed to support their healing, they aren’t always fully funded, which is why partnerships like this matter,” Green said.

For Green, this campaign wasn’t just about numbers—it was about opening hearts and doors.

“Campaigns like this don’t just raise funds; they raise awareness and spark future impact,” Green said. “It’s a reminder that people do care, sometimes you just have to give them the opportunity to get involved.”

Arrow is already on Spec’s list for consideration in May 2026 and is exploring opportunities to expand the campaign to other Texas cities where each organization has a presence.

“There are many other fantastic nonprofits out there, so it’ll be competitive, but we’re hopeful” Green said.

To the people who took the leap and donated; Arrow sends our deepest gratitude for your support in deepening our mission of helping kids and strengthening families.
