What We Do

Service Programs

We perform different acts of service, enabling each member to affect change one step at a time, with an eventual goal of community transformation. At TSO, we have several ongoing service programs:

  • Tennis Supplies Others
  • Tennis Soles for Others
  • Serve-A-Meal
  • Holiday Serve-A-Family

In addition to our ongoing TSO programs, throughout the years we have collected jackets and blankets for families in Tijuana, provided clothing and household products to fire victims, given baby baskets to young military families in need, collected tennis balls for shelter dogs, and provided backpacks and supplies to school aged children.

Tennis Soles for Others

Tennis Soles for Others is our on-going service project where we collect gently used shoes and distribute to others in need. We have TSO Soles bins in multiple tennis facilities throughout Orange County and Nashville. Our beneficiaries have ranged from children in Africa, the homeless in our local communities, women’s groups and families in Tijuana. To order a shoe bin for your local tennis facility, please email us at tennisservesothers@gmail.com.

Tennis Supplies for Others

Each year TSO hosts social gatherings bringing members together to assemble necessity bags for others in need. It’s a great way to mingle while serving others. With each goody bag, a “love all” note is added to bring some cheer. We hope you join us in this bi-annual event.

Serve-A-Meal

TSO members bake and serve! Over the years we continue to bring meals to a variety of groups in need such as the Ronald McDonald House at CHOC Hospital. TSO members have generously donated and prepared food for the homeless and have provided boxed lunches for teens in the “make and take lunch” program.

Holiday Serve-A-Family

Each holiday season, Tennis Serves Others comes together to lift up families in need through our Holiday Serve-A-Family program. For many low-income families, the holidays can be especially challenging—and our goal is to ease that burden by spreading kindness and joy.

Through this initiative, TSO members “adopt” several local families, providing essentials, meaningful gifts, and a little extra love during this special time of year. It’s a beautiful opportunity for our community to unite in service and share the true spirit of the season.
