The 2024 Pillars of Strength Luncheon raised funds to benefit Family Houston’s mission to create a stronger community for tomorrow by helping individuals and families meet the challenges they face today. Helping others help themselves. The goal of this year's luncheon was to celebrate the work that Family Houston has provided to the community for 120 years!

Last year Family Houston assisted more than 2,500 households through our community support services, mental health and financial stability programs. At Family Houston, we believe that strong families are the backbone of a strong community. And a strong community is good for all of us.
