Needs

Our support groups for children and teens are completely free to families. Almost half of the children we serve in these programs come from low-income households. We do not want financial obstacles to prevent those who have experienced a recent trauma and/or loss from seeking help. Gifts made on North Texas Giving Day will help ChristianWorks continue to offer free services to children and families in Dallas & Tarrant County and will provide the necessary funds to operate our Summer Bereavement Camp. We are walking alongside children and teens as they face challenging and difficult circumstances. By offering them support in these trying times, we can help them grow into adults who will live well and love well. By donating on North Texas Giving Day, you can help children and families find the support they need.

We believe every individual is created in the image of God and deserves equal dignity, value, and respect.  Our mission is to support individuals and families through various programs, including counseling, adoption services, grief support, and education.
