The 2026 FIFA World Cup didn't just bring world-class soccer to North Texas — it brought our Waxahachie community together in a powerful way.

Through the Giving Cup fundraiser, local Waxahachie businesses rallied around CARE Services, raising over $2,500 to support food insecurity relief efforts in Ellis County. This community-driven campaign is a shining example of what happens when local businesses invest in the people around them.

Spectrum News 1 Texas journalist Blessing Iwuchukwu captured the full story — reporting on how the FIFA World Cup created an economic and community impact felt right here in Waxahachie, TX and across the North Texas region.

At CARE Services, we are beyond grateful for every business that participated in the Giving Cup and for the visibility this moment brought to the ongoing need for food assistance in Ellis County.
