TCP connects caring adults with foster youth living in staffed facilities through mentoring, tutoring, and literacy programs

TCP is built on the vision that churches will welcome youth in foster care living in congregate care facilities into their doors and into their lives, demonstrating the unconditional love of God through mentoring, while TCP supports their growth through tutoring and literacy programs.

TCP's goal is that every one of the 3,000+ youth living in congregate care facilities across the state of Texas will have a church home, a group of mentors, and a tutor that will help them reach their highest potential.

What’s it actually like to grow up in a Chocolate Factory? 🍫

For Dana, it wasn’t just a family business. It was childhood.

They’re just milkshakes.

But someday, you’ll remember who sat across from you.

You’ll remember Grandpa’s stories.
Mom’s laugh.
Dad saying yes when it was already past bedtime.

You’ll remember celebrating the wins, talking through the losses, first dates, last days of school, Friday night traditions and completely ordinary Tuesdays.

Because the moments that become our favorite memories don’t always feel important while we’re living them.

Sometimes they just feel like getting a milkshake.

MilkShake Factory

The good old days are happening now.

Pumpkin pie with a straw, yes please! 🎃

The one dessert that shows up at every fall gathering, now handspun into a shake. Some flavors just taste like memories, this is one of them.

New for the season, made fresh in store.

Friday just tastes better with a milkshake. We don’t make the rules. 😉
