Nicks' Mission
Nick's Mission Backpack Program, DeKalb, TX
Nick’s Mission Backpack Program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
children’s charity helping hungry school children in our local
schools and daycare programs on weekends and school holidays.
Nick’s Mission Backpack Program was founded by Tony and
Barbara Shumake in memory of their precious 8-year old son,
Nick Shumake, who tragically lost his life along with his
grandparents in a flash flood at Albert Pike Campground on
June 11, 2010.
A hungry child will receive a backpack filled with nutritious
food and snacks each weekend and on school holidays, including
extended holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Spring/Winter Break. The foods and snacks are shelf-stable and
can easily be opened by the children. The empty backpacks are
returned by the students and refilled each week. This is
coordinated with each school so the backpacks are distributed
discreetly and each child’s identity is kept confidential.
Nick's Mission is designed to help families by providing the
children with food in order to lessen the family's financial
burden.
Our program currently provides to 9 schools and an average of 150 children each week! Such a tragic event has nurtured into an amazing program with volunteers helping each week - thanks to that beautiful DeKalb community spirit!
100% of all donations go directly to provide food for these
children.

Cooper Propane
Cooper Propane, 521 E Front St., DeKalb, TX 75559
Cooper Propane Company was formed in 1947, driven by a mission to supply the rural residents of Delta County, Texas, with “city gas” beyond the main lines. Electricity had reached the majority of rural areas by the late 1940’s but it did not supply heat to Delta County homes. Seizing the opportunity to provide family, friends and neighbors with access to gas-powered heating, Cooper Propane began a mission we continue more than 70 years later—providing exemplary service to bring comfort into homes and businesses throughout northeast Texas.
A ‘green’ company since its inception, Cooper Propane was instrumental in the development and use of propane as an alternative energy in farm power implements in Northeast Texas. As the company matured, operations expanded into irrigation, stand by fuel supplies, standby/off grid generators, central and zone heating systems, instantaneous water heaters, hot tubs/pool heating, decorative gas lighting, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, gas grills and fuel for motor vehicles.
Cooper Propane began to expand to bring its services to customers beyond Delta County in 1955 by opening up shop in Lamar County, TX. Today, known as The Propane Companies, the organization serves the energy needs of more than 10,000 customers in thirteen counties, including: Red River, Bowie, Fannin, Hopkins, Rains, Hunt, Franklin, Morris, Titus, Wood, Cass, Camp and Upshur. The Propane Companies meet the needs of residential, agricultural and commercial customers through service centers operating in Cooper, Paris, DeKalb, Sulphur Springs, Winnsboro and Mt Vernon, Texas, ensuring a propane expert is always nearby.
Our greatest assets are our people and our ultimate mission is to better serve our customers. When you call us, you will speak with a live associate eager to solve whatever propane-related need you might have—you will not hear a machine or confusing automated phone system.
We are Open Monday thru Friday 8am till 5 pm. DeKalb Office is 903-667-2201 (after Hours - 903-885-6501)
