Hacienda Experience Movement for Everyone Giving Back to the Community in South Texas
Giving Back to the Community in South Texas
Founded in 2012 by Hacienda Ford employees, the Hacienda Experience Movement for Everyone (HEME) began as a heartfelt toy drive and has since blossomed into a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to enrich the lives of individuals and families in the Rio Grande Valley through meaningful contributions and community engagement.
Our Initiatives:
- Annual Vehicle Giveaway: Each year, HEME proudly presents a deserving individual with a new vehicle to enhance their mobility and opportunities. In 2024, we awarded a brand-new Ford Maverick to Destiny Garcia, a high school senior recognized for her resilience and commitment to education.
- Annual Toy Drive: Continuing our tradition, we collect and distribute toys to children in need, bringing joy and hope during the holiday season.
- Skeet Shoot Fundraiser: To support our initiatives, we host an annual skeet shoot event, with all proceeds funding our vehicle giveaway and toy drive.
Get Involved:
We invite community members and organizations to join us in making a positive impact. Whether through donations, volunteering, or participating in our events, your support is invaluable.

Together, we can drive positive change and ensure that the Hacienda experience is a movement for everyone.
