In the wake of Hurricane Beryl, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston (BGCGH) stands as a beacon of hope for the community, showcasing its unwavering commitment during this challenging time. Partnering with the American Red Cross, the Rosenberg Boys & Girls Club has been transformed into a temporary emergency shelter for families displaced by the hurricane. Fort Bend County, a key partner, has played a crucial role in enabling this initiative, providing immediate relief and essential services to local Rosenberg residents in need.

A Beacon of Hope and Stability

“This collaboration underscores our commitment to supporting the Greater Houston community, offering a beacon of hope and stability when it is needed most,” said Kevin Hattery, President and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston. “By combining our resources and expertise, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by Hurricane Beryl.”

Support and Stability for Youth and Families

To further extend support, BGCGH has opened all its locations that have power, with the remaining clubs set to open as soon as power is restored. These clubs serve as essential support centers, providing a secure environment for families until regular summer programming can resume. Key services provided include:

Safe Spaces for Youth: The clubs offer stability and support during challenging times, ensuring children have a safe and reliable environment amidst natural disasters.

Empowering Through Partnerships: By partnering with government agencies, corporations, and local non-profit organizations, BGCGH is actively staffing distribution centers to provide essential services such as food, water, internet access, and safe places for families to cool off during crises.

Long-Term Impact: Donations made now contribute to the resiliency and long-term success of youth, helping them develop into responsible, caring, and productive citizens.
