Beaumont, TX
Biguita Hernandez-Smith
I am so excited about being the Director of Southeast Texas (SETX) for Evangeline’s Stocking Drive! While we don’t have a dedicated children’s hospital in Beaumont, we have many children in need. It is an honor to help alleviate the burden on the parents of these children, by leading an initiative to bring them joy, and have them experience the holiday season as close as traditional as possible . Additionally, it’s important to me to plant the seed of giving and community camaraderie as young as we can in our children to rear them into selfless adults who are invested in their community.
