There’s no way around it: This year was rough. But before we let everything that went wrong in 2020 fade into the rear view, let’s take a moment to look back and appreciate what went right.

Over the last 12 months, we doubled our coverage across the Lone Star state, answered the call (203,204 calls, to be exact) to support seniors in our communities, contributed more than $178,000 to charity, and saved Texans a total of 8.6 million hours (that’s 516,331,049 minutes!).
