Making Progress - Assisting One Child At A Time
We measure our success by the number of children whose lives are touched by our efforts each year. Houston Children’s Charity is served by its Founder, President & CEO Laura Ward, and a steadfast Board of Directors who carefully steward the resources of our donors to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of Houston’s children.
With an ambitious goal to leave no legitimate request for assistance unanswered, we seek to expand our base of support through dedicated sponsors and committed volunteers to strengthen our ability to help children. Our supporters come from all walks of life and understand that caring means giving of themselves. There are numerous ways to be a part of our work. Explore our programs and events to see how you would like to become involved and contact us today!

❤️ THANK YOU, VIVIAN SMITH FOUNDATION! ❤️
We are INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL to the Vivian Smith Foundation for supporting our ADOPT-A-FAMILY program and helping us SPREAD CHRISTMAS MAGIC across Greater Houston. 🎄✨
Because of your generosity, 12 FAMILIES & 53 CHILDREN were cared for this season — bringing joy, warmth, and meaningful holiday moments to families who needed it most. 🎁
With every personalized wish list, our team and DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS shopped for each child, wrapped every gift with care, and delivered them directly to the family’s home. These moments of joy and excitement were made possible through The Foundation’s support — and through the compassion of the volunteers who helped make this program extraordinary! 🎉
