We accomplish our mission by working toward mutual growth through listening, playing, and learning. FamilyPoint Resources is a nonprofit agency in the West Houston community dedicated to investing in the lives of children and families in order to help bridge social and economic gaps and be part of breaking cycles of poverty in the area. Most of our efforts are focused in the community immediately surrounding Nottingham Park, the “Nottingham Park Area.”
We believe that a child cannot have too many caring adults invested in their lives. As such we seek to fosters caring, adult relationships with children, many of whom suffer the void of fatherlessness, the anxiety of unstable housing, and the overriding sting of poverty. It is our hope that as we impact the lives of the children we work with, we will also be impacting their families and community. Born in 2005 out of a local church’s commitment to serve the common good of the city, FamilyPoint is now an independent non-profit organization that has built strong relationships with several West Houston schools, businesses and churches to serve needy children and families. Through these relationships, FamilyPoint brings caring adult volunteers together with at-risk children in sports, education, arts and camp programs help break the cycle of poverty and fatherlessness. Relationships with children and their families in the Nottingham Park Area have begun to open doors that we believe will lead to a holistic investment in the well being of the community by FamilyPoint and other individuals and groups as well. We also believe that through these relationships, bridges between the Nottingham Park community and the surrounding communities will be built, breaking down longstanding barriers and bringing new resources into the area.
