We believe deeply that no child should ever face the pain of hunger, and no family should bear the heavy burden of school lunch debt. Hunger should never stand in the way of a child's potential or a family's peace of mind.

We’re seeking a nonprofit to partner with that is focused on fighting child hunger and wiping out school lunch debt. If you know of a group making a difference in this area, we would be truly grateful for an introduction.

Together, we can create a community where every child is not only fed but also cared for, empowered, and supported to thrive. Let’s work together to make sure every child is nourished and supported.

When you think of horror milestones, certain dates stand out for their significance in shaping the genre. One such date is November 9, the day that forever changed the landscape of horror cinema with the release of “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” in 1974.

Directed by Tobe Hooper, “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” is often hailed as one of the most influential horror films of all time. It introduced audiences to a new kind of terror, raw, relentless, and disturbingly realistic. The film's gritty, documentary-style approach and minimal use of gore made it all the more chilling. Instead of relying on traditional supernatural scares, it focused on human monstrosity, embodied by the iconic character Leatherface and his deranged family.

The movie's release on November 9 marked a turning point in the slasher subgenre. It broke away from the classic haunted house and monster narratives, ushering in an era where horror felt more immediate and visceral. Its impact can be seen in countless horror films that followed, influencing directors and filmmakers who sought to capture that same sense of dread and unease.

Despite its low budget and initially mixed reviews, “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” gained a cult following and critical acclaim over time, solidifying its place in horror history. It’s a testament to the power of atmosphere, storytelling, and a chilling antagonist that continues to haunt the genre decades later.

So, this November 9, as horror fans worldwide celebrate the genre’s legacy, take a moment to remember the film that changed everything, a brutal, bone-chilling masterpiece that redefined what horror could be.

Well, hey there family! On the evening of October 30th, just before the masks are donned and the spirits awaken for All Hallows’ Eve, there exists a night that often slips quietly through the cracks of popular memory, known as Devil’s Night. It is a time shrouded in whispers, mischief, and shadowy play, where the ordinary bends ever so slightly toward the uncanny.

Some call it Devil’s Night, a nod to the darker folklore that surrounds it. Others refer to it as Mischief Night, a mischievous prelude to Halloween where pranks outnumber treats and the veil between worlds thins just enough to allow the restless to stir. It is a night alive with secrets and playful, sometimes eerie, energy.

Here in Ravens Vail, we embrace this tradition with a blend of caution and curiosity among the crisp autumn air carries the sound of laughter mingled with the rustling of dead leaves. And somewhere in the shadows, just beyond sight, something watches—an unseen presence that both invites and warns, reminding us that Devil’s Night is a doorway to the mysterious, a night where the boundary between mischief and the supernatural grows delightfully thin. Be careful out there!
