Clothing Request for Victims of Trafficking   

CBF Field Personnel Butch and Nell Green will be partnering informally with Mission Centers of Houston to provide clothing for women who have been taken into police custody while it is determined if they are victims of trafficking. Clothes are needed for these women and girls. Your church, small group, or you as an individual could help by packaging a new small or medium women's sweat suit, a new pair of flip flops and a few pair of new underwear. These will be delivered to the Mission Centers who then distribute them.  The Mission Centers are also in need of plastic and paper bags for their extensive food distribution.  Send all contributions to 1875 Ewing St, Houston, TX 77004.

The Building Hope Project connects volunteer groups with farmworker families to build small chicken coops and greenhouses.  These low-cost structures help families save money and supplement their nutrition. Each building project requires a donation of $600 and requires about 12-15 volunteers for 2 partial work days (usually Saturday-Sunday).  Learn more and sign up at this website.
