Nonprofits & charities in Houston

Nonprofits and charities are groups that run community services without seeking profit, so you can turn to them for health care, food, housing, education and more. Many offer services such as dental care, vision screenings, community gardens, health programs and blood donation drives, though what each group provides varies. When choosing a group in Houston, ask how donations are used and whether it publishes a financial report. Check its registration with the IRS, and call ahead to confirm that the service you need is still offered and when appointments fill up.
