Combined Charities Federation Profile: United Way of Greater Houston
The core of this organization’s focus is helping families obtain basic needs — such as food, shelter, and clothing — or providing assistance in times of crisis, such as job loss, natural disasters, or domestic violence. Just a few of the specific projects and programs it sponsors are Tiny Libraries, Bright Beginnings, and THRIVE. Its website is here.
Note: During the district’s Combined Charities Campaign, we’ll take a look at each of the Federations to which employees can donate. These profiles will be posted in no particular order, and will help employees learn about the work organizations are involved with so they can best choose which ones to donate to.
