Join us for the "Let It Rain" Fundraiser, proudly sponsored by RainBarrelFundraising.com—who donates 10% of every sale directly to Guilds of Requiem, Inc.—as we celebrate our 10th anniversary while taking active steps toward creating a resilient, self-reliant Bandera County. Guilds of Requiem is dedicated to empowering local residents through sustainable solutions, hands-on education, and grassroots community initiatives. By purchasing rainwater harvesting supplies during this pre-sale event, you help build a localized foundation for long-term water independence while directly contributing to the strength and security of our entire region.
In addition to expanding local water security, 10% of every purchase made will be donated to Out of the Way Community Corp. Operates as a completely independent non-profit, Out of the Way Community Corp relies 100% on local community funding to deliver vital services directly to neighbors in need. Your support directly fuels their essential programs, including a 24/7 self-serve food pantry and Friday lunch initiatives for local kids, ensuring no family in Bandera County goes hungry
