HOUSTON – KPRC 2 News Director Dave Strickland was among those honored during the Houston Children’s Charity’s 25th Anniversary Luncheon held on Wednesday.
According to its website, Houston Children’s Charity was founded 25 years ago with the mission “to improve the quality of life for Greater Houston’s underprivileged, abused, and disabled children who have been otherwise left behind.” They have numerous programs helping children, whether it’s for school supplies, Christmas miracles, toys, or basic life necessities such as clothing or having a mattress to sleep on. These are just a few of the many programs offered by Houston Children’s Charity. The organization has worked with more than 300 agencies and helped touch the lives of over 3.5 million children, according to its website.
