The Stan C. Parker Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is dedicated to assisting those in need by fostering a culture of advocacy, support, charity, education, and attaining joy through victory. We are especially committed to creating impactful projects that uplift U.S. Veterans and their communities.
Stan C. Parker was a lifelong Texan whose heart for service and commitment to others shaped everything he did. From his entrepreneurial spirit to his dedication to Freemasonry and community work, Stan always believed in the power of action. His story began with a simple yet profound act of kindness when he helped rescue a dog named Kujo from Afghanistan, leading to the creation of Kamp Kujo, a community-driven platform dedicated to reconnecting lost pets with their families.
As a husband, father, and community leader, Stan’s passion for helping others was evident in everything he touched. Whether it was hosting the annual Veterans Appreciation Luncheon in Waco or advocating for Veterans’ rights and housing, Stan was always there to lend a hand. His leadership extended beyond his family and businesses, leaving a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
The Stan C. Parker Foundation was born from a deep spirit of compassion, service, and an unwavering commitment to helping others—especially those who have served our country. Founded in 2017, the Foundation reflects the heart and values of its namesake, Stan Parker, a proud Waco native whose life was defined by generosity, resilience, and grassroots action.
The Foundation’s projects range from building wheelchair ramps and connecting Veterans with the benefits they’ve earned, to supporting housing initiatives like Freedom’s Path Waco, a housing project for homeless Veterans. In partnership with the McLennan County Veterans Association, the Foundation also hosts the annual Waco Veterans Day Parade. Today, the Foundation continues to honor Stan’s legacy, carrying forward his mission of service to create a lasting and meaningful impact in the lives of those in need.
