Houston Children’s Charity, “A Better Night’s Sleep” program, allows Houston’s special children to sleep comfortably every night. There are thousands of children in Houston who do not have beds, many of them sleeping on the floor. Scientific research has been conducted that links better performance in school to a good night’s sleep. The goal of this innovative program is to provide beds to children who are sleeping on the floor, never having had a restful place to lay their head. HCC also provides a bed frame, sheets, pillows, blankets and pillow cases for each bed given to a needy child.
Since the program’s launch and the outstanding support from various donors, Houston Children’s Charity has provided many children in Houston with exactly what the program offers: “A Better Night’s Sleep.” To date, the program has distributed over 3,200 beds to children in the Greater Houston area.

Every child deserves a good night’s sleep. Many children across our city are not so lucky. To ensure this, every child must start with the basics. These fundamental ingredients include a bed frame, box springs, mattress, blankets and clean sheets. This vision matured into Houston Children’s Charity “A Better Night’s Sleep” program.
The staff and Board of Directors of Houston Children’s Charity are deeply troubled by the fact that thousands of area children are growing up without a bed to sleep in each night. Many other children are trying to rest on worn-out mattresses and makeshift beds that should not qualify as such. Since the inception of “A Better Night’s Sleep” program we have provided peaceful nights for better sleep for special children.
Only the future will reveal what is in store for these children who receive a “A Better Night’s Sleep.” Only time will tell if there is another NFL star, a future president, a Fortune 500 CEO or a beloved teacher who is among the children we assist today. Together, we can provide the foundation to help them rise each day – rested and equipped -- to undertake any challenges that lie ahead.
Houston Children’s Charity is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for Greater Houston’s underprivileged, abused, and disabled children who have been otherwise left behind. The scope of our support is limited only by the availability of resources. Our goal is to leave no legitimate request for assistance unanswered.
