Jen Cooper established TFG Charitable Supply & Foundation in 2020. She was inspired by a story frequently read to her as a child by her Granny Sue called “Legend of the Bluebonnet”. Long ago, the Comanche people were suffering from a long drought. They danced, watched, and waited for a word from the Great Spirits to end their suffering. Finally the Great Spirits answered, and told them that the Comanche people had become selfish and taken too much from the earth. The people needed to make a burnt sacrifice of the most valued possession among them. This, the Great Spirits said, would end the drought and famine, and life would be restored. The people, however, weren't very thrilled to burn their own prized possession. One by one they decided that their possession shouldn't be the sacrifice. All but one, a little girl who knew exactly what to give. Her only doll, given to her by her passed loved ones, was definitely the most valuable possession among them. The little girl stood up upon the hill and burned her doll, scattering the ashes into the wind. The next morning, the girl looked over the hill and saw that the ground was covered in flowers. Every place that the ashes had fallen, bluebonnets were growing from the earth. The people saw this and knew that the Great Spirits had forgiven them. The rains came and the land began to live again.

​

Bluebonnets are a call to action. The little girl in the story saw a great need in her community and met it. We believe that the needs of our community are diverse, and that there are a large number of charitable organizations already serving those needs. That's why TFG Charitable Supply and Foundation's mission is to support other local charities and aid them in their own call to action. We choose to use our resources and expertise in business, process automation, and the used goods market to provide money and items to organizations in need.
