Our support groups for children and teens are completely free to families. Almost half of the children we serve in these programs come from low-income households. We do not want financial obstacles to prevent those who have experienced a recent trauma and/or loss from seeking help. Gifts made on North Texas Giving Day will help ChristianWorks continue to offer free services to children and families in Dallas & Tarrant County and will provide the necessary funds to operate our Summer Bereavement Camp. We are walking alongside children and teens as they face challenging and difficult circumstances.
