Along with our lightning-fast speeds, TDS is passionate about being good community partners. Giving back is an integral part of the culture at TDS. From hands-on volunteering to in-kind and financial support, TDS takes a vested interest in the growth of the communities we serve. Here are some examples from Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. TDS loves serving in our communities!
In February, TDS donated $5,000 for the Boulder County Fire Relief fund in Colorado.

TDS volunteered for the 2022 Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive where nearly 61,000 pounds of food was collected. The annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive provides food needed for the busy summer months when donations are typically low and struggling families need to feed children who are not receiving free meals at school.
TDS’ volunteer efforts truly make a difference in people’s lives like Eric. “When we sit down to dinner, we thank God for the food bank.” – Eric

TDS Field Marketing Manager Barbara Mick served as a judge of the Best of Festival films earlier this year. Congratulations to the 250 film students and teachers that participated.
“TDS provides great encouragement to a small group like ours.” said Joan Griggs of the Desert Light Film Festival Committee. “We believe our festival and competition give students a good reason to become involved in a creative field such as film, and we work hard to prepare and organize all the many parts of the competition. But financial stability is truly the wind beneath our wings. On behalf of the entire festival committee, I thank you and each person at TDS who helped to fund the awards. ”
