A local nonprofit organization has been working to empower families in the area. SHARE West Texas recently hosted an event that brought together families with children who have disabilities. The event was a sensory-friendly pool party, which aimed to create a supportive environment for both parents and children to connect.

The pool party also provided attendees with essential items for the upcoming school year, including backpacks and school supplies. This effort was part of the organization's goal to support local families.
