The City of Belton has teamed up with United Way of Central Texas to offer funds to help residents in Belton who were impacted by the pandemic.

Many in Central Texas are still working to recover from the economic impact of the pandemic. The City of Temple and United Way want to help.

Some of Cental Texas' very own will be sent to Afghanistan in an effort to provide support as part of a task force with Fort McCoy and Fort Bliss.

This non-profit is not only helping Veterans find jobs, but they are also helping those transitioning out of the military become franchise owners. Their latest venture will be Axe Monkey Fort Hood, a family-friendly axe throwing and entertainment center located in Killeen.

One of the greatest tricks our minds can play on us is the illusion of permanence. We get comfortable and we take things for granted. Sure, we see some things change around us, but there are certain fixtures in our lives we think will always just be there. Now, picture your hometown - the house you grew up in, your grade school, the field where you played ball with your neighborhood friends, the place where you had your first kiss - being completely submerged and lost to time as if it never existed. For some in the Central Texas community, that loss is a reality.
