Houston to participate and share our mission with this incredible community at Hermann Park Golf Course.

This September, during Infant Hunger Action Month, Houston came together for one belief: no baby should go without the nutrition they need.

With Houston City Council Member Martha Castex-Tatum, District K as Honorary Chair, L.I.F.E. Houston's Inaugural Citywide Formula Drive raised over $43,000+ in infant formula, and we're still counting!

That means fewer parents stretching cans, rationing feedings, or choosing between groceries and a bottle. Thank you to the City of Houston, our partners, donors, churches, schools, and businesses who made it happen.

Infant hunger doesn't end with September, and neither do we. Keep the momentum going by donating formula, hosting a drive, or giving at lifehouston.org.

Every baby in Houston deserves to thrive, every day of the year.

Our CEO, Shawntell L. McWilliams, was honored to serve as guest speaker for Houston’s Exceptional Women’s Network (HEWN) at Motherhood Center.

Shawntell shared the mission of L.I.F.E. Houston and our commitment to ensuring families across our city have access to the infant formula their babies need. She also shared reflections from her own personal and professional journey and the lessons that have shaped how she leads today.

Her message was a reminder that the most meaningful paths are rarely linear. Sometimes purpose becomes clearer as we learn to adapt, evolve, and move forward with intention.

We’re grateful to Rachel Morris Rosson for the invitation and for continuing to champion L.I.F.E. Houston as an ambassador and advocate. Her support helps introduce our mission to new people, spaces, and conversations throughout the community.

HEWN has created a meaningful space for accomplished women to connect, share experiences, and support one another’s work. Opportunities like this allow us to build relationships, expand awareness, and continue strengthening our work on behalf of Houston families.

There are details that define an evening. The flowers. The tables. The first impression. The moments guests remember.

For the Fall Friends Estate Dinner, L.I.F.E. Houston invites one distinguished partner to serve as our Official Floral Sponsor and help create an atmosphere that reflects the beauty, generosity, and impact of our mission.

From the moment guests arrive, your support will be woven throughout the evening, from the floral arrangements that welcome our guests to the centerpieces that bring each table to life and the photographs that capture the celebration.

But your generosity will mean far more than beautiful flowers. It will help L.I.F.E. Houston provide infant formula to families who need it and strengthen our ability to support Houston families with dignity, compassion, and care.

As our Official Floral Sponsor, you will receive:
• Your name displayed alongside each floral centerpiece at every table.
• Reserved VIP seating for three guests.
• Recognition in the event program and verbally during the event.

We would be honored to welcome you as our Official Floral Sponsor for the Fall Friends Estate Dinner on November 10, 2026 at 7PM at The Hyatt Galleria.

For sponsorship information, please visit lifehouston.org.

For 38 years, L.I.F.E. Houston has been rooted in one powerful belief: no baby should go hungry.

This year, at our Fall Friends Estate Dinner, we are proud to present the Community Choice Award to Robin Klaes, philanthropist, community leader, and longtime champion of L.I.F.E. Houston’s mission.

Robin’s generosity represents more than support—it reflects a deep commitment to ensuring Houston’s most vulnerable families have access to the infant nutrition, resources, and care they need to give their babies a healthy start.

“Every baby deserves to begin life nourished, safe, and surrounded by hope. Supporting L.I.F.E. Houston has been one of the great privileges of my life, because when we care for our youngest neighbors, we build a stronger, kinder Houston for everyone.” - Robin Klaes

On Tuesday, November 10, we will gather to celebrate 38 years of legacy and impact and honor the individuals whose generosity continues to move this mission forward.

Because when we nourish a baby, we strengthen a family. When we strengthen a family, we strengthen a community. And together, we are helping build a Houston where every baby has the opportunity to thrive.

Join us for an evening of gratitude, purpose, and impact—and help us continue ensuring that no baby in Houston goes hungry.

- Host a formula drive within your workplace, congregation, or school: https://givebutter.com/Infant-hunger-action-month

- Send formula directly through our Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1K5HSHCICIBST/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex

A bigger presence. A greater opportunity to serve.

L.I.F.E. Houston is proud to be a founding community partner of CORE by Houston Food Bank, a transformational new facility that will bring trusted organizations together to serve families across the Houston community.

For L.I.F.E. Houston, CORE represents an opportunity to expand access to infant formula and essential feeding resources while connecting more families to a broader network of support.

As part of this new community centered model, we are helping build a Houston where families can find critical resources in one place and where addressing infant hunger is part of a larger commitment to helping families achieve greater health and stability.
