This HOLIDAY SEASON, Give the Gift of "A BETTER NIGHT'S SLEEP!"
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!

THE 12TH ANNUAL ONE FOR ONE BED EVENT IS HERE! 🛏️✨
Now through JANUARY 4TH, for EVERY MATTRESS purchased at Texas Mattress Makers (online or in-store), they will DONATE a MATTRESS, BOX SPRING, PILLOW & SHEETS to a Houston child in need. 💙🛏️
‼️ PURCHASE TODAY: www.texasmattressmakers.com/blog/annual-one-for-one-bed-event/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOmyAZleHRuA2FlbQIxM...
A bed isn’t a luxury… it’s a NECESSITY. And thanks to this incredible partnership, more children will have a safe, comfortable place to sleep, dream, and thrive. 🌟
The #OneForOneBed event began after learning about the ongoing waitlist of children needing beds through our A Better Night’s Sleep program. Texas Mattress Makers stepped up — and for 12 years, they’ve helped change lives one bed at a time.
‼️ Join us this month and help make a REAL impact for Houston’s children. ❤️
