A Cloud 9 Charities Initiative
Mission: To provide temporary housing to families in our community who are in crisis and need safe shelter.
Rescue is an ongoing program that was founded in December of 2012. After seeing a 60 Minutes TV program describing the amount of homeless, school-age children in our nation, Cloud 9 Charities’ Founder, Kim Cloud, discovered that there were hundreds of homeless children registered in the Lewisville ISD alone. Thus the birth of Bedtime Rescue.
Bedtime Rescue was created to provide temporary housing for homeless families in our local community. This program brings relief to families to help them get back on their feet and make long-term plans for a successful future. As of January 2023, Bedtime Rescue has housed homeless Denton County families for over 3,500 nights and looks to continue these efforts through local grants, Cloud 9 fundraising events, and private donations.
This is the 7th year for Cross Timbers Rotary Club to host this community-wide event that has provided over $200,000 in grants to local charitable organizations. Once again, we are hosting the Rhythms at the Riverwalk in Flower Mound on September 21st from 10:00am – 2:00pm. Our 7th annual event includes food trucks, music, vendor booths and activities for the kids. At 12:30pm, we will race 30,000 ducks. First lucky duck wins a $2,500 VISA gift card with more prizes through tenth place.
