Those are some scary statistics. But it is conforting to know that City House is there.
In 2010, City House provided safe and encouraging homes to more than 200 youths. City House provides shelter primarily to youth in North Texas (Collin, Dallas, Tarrant, Rockwall, Denton and Kaufman).
If you are unable to attend An Evening At The Derby, please consider contributing in other ways to help City House so that they may continue to provider for our area’s abused and neglected children. Many ways that you can help can be found on the City House “Invest In Us” page and the Sponsorship page.
