List of Charities

Philanthropy is in our blood. We live by the belief that to whom much is given, much is expected. Therefore, we give our money and time to our church first, then a few local charities that embody the values and principles we believe it takes to unite and strengthen a community. We choose to support local charities because we believe giving should start in our own backyards. We do so, knowing that this is a sustainable way to make a lasting and genuine impact in our community.

Pearland House Concerts hosts some terrific musicians in a casual and fun-filled environment!  However, it is also our hope that you will learn more about these charities and their important missions-  and feel compelled to join us in supporting them!

Below are the charities we focus most of our energy on:

Brittany's Dream

Little Footprints Children's Ministry

Little Footprints is a unique ministry in that it is involved in the parent’s lives on a somewhat daily basis as we strive to keep children from ever having to go into the state system. We seek to do this by providing street moms with the means to change their lives through: offering referrals to shelters, unwed mother’s homes, rehabilitation ministries, and providing practical needs such as pregnancy tests, prenatal vitamins, diapers, wipes, clothing for mom and baby, and formula. Our ultimate goal is to protect the children while empowering parents to raise there child when possible. However, when one or both parents are unable or unwilling to make the changes necessary to protect their children from these at-risk lifestyles, we offer referrals to adoptive services through Loving Houston Adoption Agency as an alternative to state care. With your help, we can protect little feet from the street by partnering with the Father heart of God through rescuing and caring for these little ones.  http://littlefootprintscm.com
