Programs
Our organization’s mission is to provide emergency clothing and household items, free of charge, to families with substantiated needs. With this goal in mind we accept charitable donations from all over the Houston Area.
Our Home set-up program is made possible by your generous donations of clothing, furniture, appliances, left-over garage sale items, home-decor items, utility items and vehicles etc. All of which we collect daily through our prompt and scheduled donation pickup service.
Not only do we accommodate families in need we also provide other important programs to help our families continue to improve their lives and pursue careers. With programs like our Dress for Success Program, Resume and Beginner’s Computer Classes, Youth School Business, Home Set-up Program, and Vehicle Maintenance Classes we hope to make a difference in our community.
Home set up program
This program helps struggling families in the Houston area by providing emergency clothing and household essentials free of charge to families with substantiated needs.
Dress for Success
Our Dress for success program is designed to assist members of our community to put their “best foot forward” in obtaining employment.
We help people in our community who don’t have the means to dress properly for either a job interview or for their first day of work. We also assist young people in special groups (Alcoholics Anonymous, etc.), to orientate themselves to living and working in the Greater Houston Area. Our goal is to help build self esteem and boost confidence
First Aid Classes
This program is designed to address a crucial need for every family. First Aid knowledge allows you to be prepared in the event of an emergency situation.
Bilingual Classes
This program is for individuals that need to learn English as a second language. We also have a program created for English speaking individuals so that they can take advantage of the financial opportunities offered in the Spanish speaking community. This program would be beneficial for healthcare professionals, store owners and entrepreneurs
