HOUSTON, Oct. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Faulk Foundation, a nonprofit created by CEO and Founder Carolyn Faulk and supported by A&C Plastics, volunteers, and donors, is proud to announce its Fall Giving Initiatives designed to provide urgent and practical assistance to families and students in need.

This October, the Foundation will officially open applications for two cornerstone programs: the Scholarship Program, which helps students pursue education with financial support, and the Adopt-A-Family Program, which provides holiday gifts, essentials, and encouragement to local families in need. Last year, The Faulk Foundation supported over 50+ families and awarded $100,000 in scholarships to 10 students from accredited universities. This year, the Foundation’s goal is to double that by giving even more to students and families. With these programs underway, The Faulk Foundation is calling on the community for greater participation than ever before.

“Our mission has always been to meet people where they are and provide immediate, practical help when life takes an unexpected turn,” said Carolyn Faulk, Founder of The Faulk Foundation. “This fall, we need your support to give back more than we’ve ever given before.”

100% Direct Aid

The Faulk Foundation operates with volunteers, has no overhead, and does not host fundraisers. This ensures that 100% of all monetary donations go directly to help people in need. Every dollar is put to work quickly, transparently, and effectively for families and individuals facing crises.

What We Provide

Support varies by situation and may include:

• Backpacks filled with school supplies for students
• Personalized patient gift baskets with comfort items
• Scholarships, including opportunities for named scholarships through donations of $10k+
• Emergency and long-term support for families affected by natural disasters
• Holiday gifts, essentials, and support for local families through the Adopt-A-Family program
