At the Stafford City Council meeting on June 18, 2025, community support for local students took center stage as council members rallied behind a drive organized by the Stafford National Honor Society. The initiative aims to collect hygienic products and school uniforms for students in need, highlighting the pressing issue of poverty within the district.

Council member Abby Lynn praised the dedication of students and volunteers, particularly recognizing the efforts of Hosea, who juggles multiple roles including UIL academic coordinator and assistant swimming coach. "You're just amazing how you can find the time to volunteer for all these different organizations within the school," Lynn noted, emphasizing the importance of community involvement.

During the meeting, a challenge was issued to council members to contribute financially to the drive, with one member pledging $250. This sparked a spirit of competition and camaraderie among the council, showcasing their commitment to supporting local youth.

Mayor and council members unanimously approved a motion to assist the Honor Society by placing donation boxes at key city locations, including City Hall and the Stafford Center, and promoting the initiative through social media and local television. "The city of Stafford will do everything that it is able to support this drive," the mayor stated, reinforcing the council's dedication to uplifting the community.

As the meeting concluded, the council members expressed pride in the students' efforts and the collaborative spirit of the community, setting a positive tone for future initiatives aimed at supporting those in need.
