EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT

We believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. Accordingly, we seek out educational support programs that helps students, teachers and schools achieve success. Whether is it providing free weekly readers or funding school field trips to the Perot Museum, The Exchange Club of East Dallas offers funds to help our schools and their students.

We even help students with school uniforms and buy pizzas for those attending Saturday school.
