Dallas Based Soccer Non-Profit Gives Back with Volunteer Initiative

Team Give & Go, a non-profit organization developed to be a resource and promote the game of soccer to African-American youth student athletes took a break from the pitch last week and packed meal bags to benefit Frisco FastPacs. 

The meal bags packed will benefit students in Frisco Independent School District, ensuring kids do not go hungry when school is not in session. Hunger is a major challenge in Frisco. Frisco FastPacs services more than 1,000 students weekly and the need continues to grow, particularly as more families are negatively impacted by Covid. 

“Our mission at Team Give & Go is to ensure that we are building well-rounded student athletes. We understand that in order to be successful outside of the classroom, you have to perform at your highest level in the classroom. That is impossible to do when kids are not getting the meals they need to nourish their minds and souls”, states T. Lynn Jones, co-founder of Team Give & Go.  “It’s a privilege to have some of our girls take time out of their day, after playing long and challenging games to give thanks and help others in need.”  

Team Give & Go, established in 2018, provides resources, a support network and access to training, mentorship and information to promote & extend the lifespan of athletic recreational and competitive seasons for multicultural student athletes.  Recognized as the only organization in the U.S. that focuses on the development and nurturing of young talented African American youth soccer players, Team Give & Go aims to close the gaps in the youth soccer industry for young African American soccer athletes.
