Our Mission
is to help 400 - 600 homeless/displaced children in our community with their current needs. Our school district identifies these children as being internally displaced / in a temporary living situation within our community. There is not a permanent home for them. Reasons for their homelessness could be due to a fire or natural disaster, a parent's loss of employment, or perhaps they had to flee their home because of a violently threatening situation. Whatever the situation, these children have no control over it and they feel scared and somewhat hopeless.
Working in close relationship with the Katy Independent School District, we are trying to fill gaps other organizations can't, and also give students hope through our prayers and encouragement. Sometimes these precious children need shoes and clothes, required vaccinations, school supplies or just a hoodie to keep them warm. Their needs change and we change our projects to meet their current needs.
Currently volunteers from the Fellowship at Cinco Ranch church have banded together to help these school aged children with new shoes for school so they can feel a sense of belonging, and then focus on doing well in class. We want them to graduate, go on to get an even higher education/training and break free from a cycle of possible generational poverty which could easily become their future without intervention. Please help us in our current endeavor to place a pair of shoes on the feet of 400 - 600 homeless children.

- Texas is among the top ten states in the U.S. for child poverty.
- It is not uncommon for a child in our community living in a temporary situation to move within our school district 4 to 5 times in one year to other temporary living situations and change schools each time.
- Currently the group of children from professional parents who are homeless is increasing due to the economy.
- One in four children in Texas lives in poverty.
