Welcome to Community Backstop

Community Backstop is focused on meeting the needs and improving lifestyles for those who have found themselves in overwhelming situations. You can be involved in helping an individual or family in their time of need; someone who lives right in your community.

Thanks to the 200+ people who attended our sixth annual Texas Hold 'em fundraising event on April 28, 2011.  The night was a huge success, and we very much appreciate the overwhelming support that our friends have given to Community Backstop.  For those of you who were there, you will recall that we heard from a family who CB was able to help this year.  As it turns out, NBC news decided to broadcast an interview with this family and one of our founders the day after our big event.  Please click on the link below to check it out:
