Charity of the Month

We will be hearing from Macy Heitschmidt, the Executive Assistant and Special Projects Coordinator of The BEE Community, our April Charity of the Month!

Macy Heitschmidt, a native of Dallas, graduated from Texas A&M with a Bachelor's in Psychology and after graduating, has spent the past four years on staff at BEE. It was in her time at Texas A&M University that Macy was introduced to The BEE Community and fell madly in love with the mission of the organization. BEE was founded on the principle that everyone, regardless of ability or capacity, is made with inherent worth and the divine design to work and contribute. BEE provides meaningful work and a place of belonging for people of all abilities. For fun, Macy enjoys gathering with friends over good food, walking her dog, Moose, spending time with her husband, Jarren, and drinking way too much coffee. 

Through the handcrafting of products in a variety of enterprises, The BEE Community exists to provide meaningful work and a place of belonging for adults with disabilities. BEE Artisans craft high quality products like soaps, candles, dog treats, stationery and jewelry that are sold locally and online. 

They want everyone–regardless of ability and capacity–to experience the dignity and purpose that comes from employment. They believe everyone that has a pulse has a purpose and a divine design to work and contribute.
