Fighting Hunger Together: Partnering with the Coastal Bend Food Bank

At Hilliard Law, our commitment to justice goes beyond the courtroom — it extends to making a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors. That’s why we’re proud to support the Coastal Bend Food Bank (CBFB), an organization that has been fighting hunger in South Texas since 1982 by rescuing and distributing food and essential supplies to local families in need.

Over the past two years, our team — including attorneys, interns, and staff — has shown up in force to lend a helping hand. From packing produce to preparing food boxes for mobile distribution events, we’ve contributed our time and energy to help feed thousands across the Coastal Bend.

In June 2023, more than 15 members of our team packed 1,115 pounds of produce, helping to provide 929 meals for families in need. True to Hilliard Law’s spirit, we finished the job in under an hour and then used our remaining time to assemble 384 distribution boxes. It was a fast-paced, fulfilling afternoon that underscored the power of teamwork and service.

In July 2024, we returned to CBFB’s new state-of-the-art facility, where we sorted countless boxes of donations and prepped inventory for an upcoming mobile distribution event. As always, our team came ready to work, driven by our shared commitment to uplifting the community we’re proud to call home.

We believe that no one should go hungry, and we’re honored to partner with the Coastal Bend Food Bank in its mission to eliminate food insecurity across our region. At Hilliard Law, giving back is not an obligation — it’s a reflection of who we are.

The Purple Door

Standing with Survivors: Supporting The Purple Door

At Hilliard Law, we believe in standing up for the most vulnerable members of our community — especially those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. That’s why we are honored to support the vital work of The Purple Door, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families as they transition to safe, healthy, and hopeful futures.

Over the years, our relationship with The Purple Door has deepened through both hands-on service and heartfelt sponsorships. In 2022, the Hilliard Law team prepared and delivered over 65 warm Thanksgiving meals to women and children staying at the shelter. Later that December, we continued the season of giving with a Christmas gifting drive, bringing comfort, joy, and essential supplies to those finding refuge at The Purple Door.

In 2024, we proudly served as a Justice Sponsor for the Inaugural Purple Pickleball Fundraiser, combining our passion for justice with a little friendly competition on the court. Our very own Hilliard Law Pickleball Team showed up in full force — with Aaron Palmer and John Duff taking home gold, and Alex and Robbie Hilliard playing a fan-favorite exhibition match. More than just a game, it was a powerful show of solidarity with survivors and a meaningful way to support this life-changing organization.

We are grateful to The Purple Door for the life-saving work they do every day, and we remain committed to helping build a community where safety, dignity, and healing are accessible to all.

TOKC -  Triumph over Kid Cancer 

Fighting for Brighter Futures: Supporting Triumph Over Kid Cancer

At Hilliard Law, our hearts are with the children and families facing unimaginable battles. That’s why we are proud to support the mission of the Triumph Over Kid Cancer Foundation (TOKC) — an organization devoted to improving the lives of children with cancer by raising awareness, lifting spirits, and funding critical research that advances treatment and survivability.

What began as a courageous vision from James Ragan, the late childhood friend of Alex Hilliard, has grown into a powerful movement that continues to touch lives throughout the Coastal Bend and beyond. Hilliard Law is honored to carry this mission forward, walking alongside TOKC in the fight to bring comfort, joy, and hope to pediatric cancer warriors and their families.

In May 2023, Catherine and Bob Hilliard opened their home for a joyful TOKC pool party, welcoming families to a vibrant afternoon filled with cotton candy, churros, snow cones, and laughter. It was a day of light-hearted fun and tender moments — a beautiful blend of hope, healing, and community, where smiles triumphed over sorrow, if only for a while.

In 2024, we were honored to support TOKC’s Sunset Bells Project — a breathtaking memorial at Sunset Island designed to raise awareness and inspire action. As the bells rang across the bay, we were reminded of the strength of every child and family affected by cancer and our continued responsibility to be advocates for change.

The Hilliard family and our firm remain deeply committed to TOKC's mission and legacy — bringing joy where we can and fighting for a cure every step of the way.

Metro Ministry

Serving with Dignity: Supporting Corpus Christi Metro Ministries

At Hilliard Law, we believe in meeting people where they are — with compassion, respect, and real resources. That’s why we are proud long-time supporters of Corpus Christi Metro Ministries and their Loaves & Fishes meal program, which provides free, nutritious meals to individuals experiencing homelessness, poverty, disability, and other hardships.

Our relationship with Metro Ministries runs deep — even housing their offices before they moved into their current facility. Over the years, our team has remained committed to supporting their mission of restoring hope and dignity to those in need.

This past year, the Hilliard Law team assembled and distributed nearly 200 Blessing Bags filled with essentials like hats, sunscreen, snacks, socks, and toiletries. Earlier in the year, we collected and donated coats and cold-weather gear, offering warmth to our neighbors during the chilly months. Each effort reflects our belief that small gestures can have a lasting impact when grounded in care and community.

Spending time at Metro Ministries reminds us that it's not just about the meals — it's about connection, second chances, and building a stronger, more compassionate Coastal Bend.

Antonio E. Garcia Arts & Education Center

Empowering the Next Generation: Supporting the Garcia Center

At Hilliard Law, we believe that investing in children is investing in the future of our community. That’s why we’re proud to support the Antonio E. Garcia Arts & Education Center, whose mission to uplift at-risk students and underserved families through education, counseling, wellness, and the arts aligns beautifully with our commitment to service.

In July 2023, our team had the joy of delivering over 60 summer sports bags—each one filled with cinch sacks, sweat towels, and water bottles—to kids and teens at the Garcia Center. The goal? To help them stay cool, hydrated, and ready for a summer full of enrichment and fun.

Later that year, we returned to support the Garcia Center’s annual school supply drive, where we joined in distributing over 300 backpacks, 100+ free haircuts, and 350 food boxes in partnership with the Coastal Bend Food Bank. Beyond the supplies, the day was filled with laughter, smiles, and the kind of joy that makes a lasting impact.

From financial donations to hands-on service, Hilliard Law is honored to stand alongside the Garcia Center as it provides transformative resources for families across the Coastal Bend.

Adopt-A-Beach

Protecting What We Love: Mustang Island Beach Cleanup

At Hilliard Law, we believe in protecting the place we call home. That’s why our Hilliard Heroes rolled up their sleeves and partnered with Adopt-A-Beach to help clean up the stunning shores of Mustang Island State Park. With gloves on and trash bags in hand, our outreach team spent the day preserving our coastline—ensuring that the natural beauty of the Coastal Bend remains untouched for generations to come.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Ranger Ben, who not only guided our efforts but shared his deep passion for conservation and the coastal environment. His dedication inspired us throughout the day.

From the courtroom to the coastline, Hilliard Law is committed to creating meaningful impact in every corner of our community.
