Wiesner of Huntsville Community Involvement

At Wiesner of Huntsville, we love to support our community. Here are some of the organizations we are proud to work with and what they do for our local area.

Casa of Walker County

The main purpose of CASA of Walker County is to guarantee that children in the Child Protective Services system have a court-appointed advocate to help ensure the best possible outcome for the child. Advocates are volunteers who receive training through CASA and attend court hearings to be a voice for the youth.

Wiesner of Huntsville has partnered with CASA of Walker County to put on events to raise funds for the organization. Wiesner presented their Christmas in July Bingo event and sponsored the raffle for their Parade of Playhouses. Wiesner was also a drop-off location during their Christmas Toy Drive, helping to provide underprivileged children with presents for the holidays.

Trinity County Fair

Wiesner of Huntsville is a sponsor of the Trinity Community Fair, which is one of the last free fairs in the state of Texas. You’ll find everything you love about fairs while you’re there, including great food, fun rides, unique vendors, exciting entertainment, and a youth livestock auction.

In 2019, this old-fashioned community fair celebrated its 70th year entertaining the Trinity area and its surrounding towns. The 2021 fair hosted a parade, with the Trinity FFA and Trinity 4-H taking home the 1st place prize for its presentation. Attending the Trinity Community Fair is a perfect way to support local businesses and the kids in our neighborhoods while having lots of family-friendly fun.

The organization is dedicated to educating the communities it serves, as well as providing resources to help survivors recover and start over in the wake of their abuse or assault.

The organization is supported by merchandise sales and a resale shop run on donations, in addition to local community support and fundraising. Wiesner of Huntsville is proud to assist with these fundraising events that benefit SAAFE House and help keep their doors open to all victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse.
