The City of Euless is privileged to have a dedicated and loyal group of volunteers whose commitment greatly enriches our community. Each year, we honor these exceptional individuals to recognize their dedication and valuable service.

Lifetime Contribution Award

Don Green is the recipient of this year’s Lifetime Contribution Award, recognized for his dedicated service to the Euless community. For generations, the Green name has been synonymous with generosity, good food, and good will in Euless. Don’s father began cooking a free Thanksgiving meal for Euless seniors that grew into a beloved tradition that touched thousands of lives over the years. After his father’s passing, Don continued the tradition of ensuring that hundreds of Euless seniors had a warm, delicious Thanksgiving meal. Don has devoted a lifetime of service to the Euless community from North Main BBQ restaurant to Green’s Texas Bar-B-Que trailer. The City of Euless is proud to honor him.

Volunteer Business of the Year

HTeaO is the recipient of this year’s Volunteer Business of the Year Award. Even before they opened their doors in 2025, HTeaO demonstrated that they wanted to be more than just a business in Euless - they wanted to be part of our community. Owners, Patrick and Heather, visited local schools, city offices, and many other places to simply introduce themselves and share the goodness of what their business would bring to Euless. Since opening in March 2025, HTeaO has shown a spirit of generosity by donating beverages and supporting local events.
