Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Operation: Keep Warm
All across the US and in every community there are families struggling to meet their basic needs, so our ministry helps by donating coats and warm clothing to local area Ministries.
Save a Can/Feed a Pet
We love our four-legged friends and help our local animal shelters to feed and house pets, so we donate food, blankets, newspapers, toys, etc.
Gifts of Love
We deliver gifts of love to Texas Children's Hospital and MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital, so the children know they are cared for and loved.
Back to School Supply Drive
We hold annually a Back to School Supply Drive and deliver backpacks full of supplies to those nominated by their peers.
Star of Hope Volunteer Night
We are honored to be able to volunteer with such a wonderful organization.
The Star of Hope realized during the 1980’s that an emergency shelter was not enough help for many homeless individuals. They would keep coming back after leaving the shelter, unable to maintain an independent life-style.
So, in 1988, the Star of Hope Mission began the Transitional Living Center to help prepare and train the homeless to become independent and re-enter the mainstream of society.
TLC located at 6801 Ardmore in Houston, Texas is able to provide services to 66 families and 45 single women!
We provide jello, pudding cups and water as a good night snack to the individuals housed there. We also donate diapers, towels and deodorant.
Take Care of a Veteran
We are happy to be able to help those at the Veterans Support Organization. The chapters in various states across the United States are changing the lives of so many by offering jobs and transitional housing, providing funding to local VA's and other veterans support groups. Their mission is to get struggling veterans off the streets and give them opportunities to improve their lives.
We donate clothing and toiletries and to help them continue to support those that some may have forgotten.
Operation: Bless a Family
We adopt nominated families for the Thanksgiving holiday and provide them with a complete meal.
Socks for Soldiers
Socks for Soldiers, Inc. is a 501C(3) Non Profit Charity organization that is about sending gifts of love to our soldiers in the Middle East. We host a drive to collect much needed socks, toiletries and other items.
Blessings to the Homeless and Less Fortunate
We deliver blessing bags to the homeless and less fortunate which include food, water, toiletries, etc.
We enjoy visiting with the people and knowing we are making a difference in their lives.
Wreaths for Veterans
We not only donate wreaths, but also join Wreaths Across America - Houston and help to place wreaths on Veterans' graves!
Warmth for the Weary
Blanket drives aren't just warm for the recipients of the donations. They're pretty warming for the people who organize the efforts, too.
We help the homeless and less fortunate by donating blankets, coats and socks.

THE LITTLEST HELPERS
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
