At ten years old, Alvin resident, Jace Dungan, is reaching out to LCM for assistance in distributing more than 600 winter coats to our neighbors in need.
Last Christmas, Jace and his grandfather, Mark Higdon, were driving through an underpass when Jace noticed a homeless family beneath the bridge. Asking who they were and why they were there, Higdon explained that not everyone is a fortunate as they. He told Jace that sometimes people just have some bad luck and needed a little help.
One thing Jace noticed right away was they weren’t wearing any coats on that cold November day, and that’s when he went into action. With help from his family, Jace began collecting coats. Using social media and through word of mouth, Jace collected 235 coats that he donated to Lighthouse Christian Ministries to distribute free. Jace didn’t stop there! He recently made good on his promise by delivering a portion of the more than 600 coats he has collected.
