Bea’s Kids
Serving Carrollton-Farmers Branch for Nearly 30 Years
History
Our Founder, Bea Salazar, a disabled mother of five, began feeding hungry children from her Carrollton apartment complex in June, 1990, after discovering a small boy looking for food in the dumpster when she went to take out her trash. The circle of kids fed by Bea began to grow, and when school resumed Bea helped the kids with their homework. Her effort grew to a crusade against hunger, illiteracy, school dropout, domestic strife, drugs, violence, gangs, and poverty, planting the seed that would grow to become a nonprofit 501(c)(3) agency serving more than 200 students, K through 12th grade, in low-income apartments.
