Supporting Houston’s kids

At its recent children’s charity grant presentation, Charity Guild of Catholic Women awarded $764,200 to 63 nonprofit organizations to benefit children in need in the Greater Houston area. President Margie Bacile presented the awards at the ceremony at the Charity Guild Shop, home to the volunteer-run consignment shop that funds the grant donations. Charity Guild of Catholic Women focuses on serving children’s needs through health and social services, education, hunger, special needs, and art and enrichment. This year’s grant recipients include Bo’s Place, Cy-Fair Helping Hands, Harrison’s Heroes, Houston Furniture Bank, Palmer Drug Abuse Program-Houston, and Target Hunger.
