Shirley Charles Foundation

Shirley Charles Foundation provides resources and assistance to the Dallas, Tarrant, Ellis, McLennan, and Navarro communities through community giveaways and working with other non-profit organizations to meet the needs of all people.

Lonnie and Triss Jessie are the founders of the Shirley Foundation. It was established as a non-profit in 2011 with the idea to “enrich the lives of low-income individuals in both the Greater Dallas area and Navarro County.”  This foundation was a way to honor the parents of both- Shirley Jackson- mother of Triss, who passed away from breast cancer and Charles Jessie, father of Lonnie, who passed away from lung cancer.
