The Irving Amateur Radio Club has donated $5000 to help Irving Cares assist families in Irving. Irving Cares was organized in 1957 by a group of citizens in Irving who were interested in the social welfare of the needy people in their community. They not only offer assistance with rent, utilities and food from their pantry, but they also partner with their clients to develop solutions that lead to self-sufficiency. Irving Cares offers a hand up, not a handout, and promotes self-sufficiency for Irving residents in need.
