Attention all Santa Helpers! 

Santa and Mrs. Clause will collect non-perishable food for the Hearts and Hands of Baytown on Saturday, December 16th. (Rain date is Sunday, December 17th, same time, same place.) This Food Drive will help feed the hungry in the Baytown community. 

Additionally, there will be a Golf Cart parade! The LCA will host a Christmas Golf Cart Parade to assist with the food collections. Anyone along the parade routes wanting to donate non-perishable food items may flag down one of the Golf Carts in the parade, which will pick up and deliver those items to the Food Collection Point. Community members may also drive to Travis Elementary School to drop off the food items at 100 Robin Rd, Baytown, Tx 77520, between 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm.

Please note: The Golf Cart Parade includes Golf Carts, ATVs, Four Wheelers, Bikes, Motorcycles and Trucks.  The Parade will run from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, starting in front of Travis Elementary and ending in front of the cafeteria.

Last year she worked with the City to ‘Adopt’ a section of Bayway Drive from Pin Oak Drive to Baker Road to keep it clean. Jennifer has been coordinating the quarterly clean-ups along Bayway Drive, which presents a much nicer view coming into our neighborhood. Jennifer has also assisted with Neighborhood Watch and National Night Out.
