More than 100 Junior League of Houston members came together on Saturday to volunteer at Childspree, an annual back-to-school event hosted by Child Advocates that the League proudly supports each year.
Through our longstanding partnership with Child Advocates and Target, approximately 100 Houston-area foster children enjoyed a private shopping experience before the store opened to the public. Each child was paired with a Junior League member who served as their personal shopper, helping them select new clothing, shoes and other back-to-school essentials. Every child also received breakfast, a new backpack and school supplies to help them start the school year with confidence.
While the new clothes and school supplies are important, Childspree is about so much more. It's about helping children feel seen, supported and excited for the school year ahead while reminding them their community is cheering them on.
Thank you to our incredible provisional, active and sustainer members who volunteered their time to make this special day possible. Together, we continue building a better community—one child, one family and one act of service at a time.
