The Riverside Project

Join us for Bingo at the Rodeo on October 18th at The Rustic Uptown Park for a night of Western fun and life-changing impact for children and families in Houston's foster care system.

At The Riverside Project, we know real change happens when organizations, businesses, churches, and individuals come together.

Your sponsorship fuels that work:
💙 Mobilizing churches to care for vulnerable neighbors
💙 Training professionals in trauma-informed care
💙 Meeting real-time needs through our Response Network
💙 Walking alongside moms in crisis

We'd love if you would consider sponsoring this years event. Email us at [email protected] for a sponsor packet, or learn more at riversideproject.org/bingo --

Did you know we have over 50 conversations on the podcast with individuals, organizations, and leaders who are committed to making a difference for children and families in Houston?

Each conversation is a chance to better understand the issues facing our community and be inspired to find your place along The River.

We know that real change occurs when we are all aligned across systems, sectors, and communities. When we are united around our shared goal of strengthening families, something amazing happens: lives are changed, families stay together, and children experience security.

Transforming the foster care system here in Houston is only possible when we work together.

Foster care is not an isolated problem. The systemic issues affecting children and families (poverty, homelessness, addiction, incarceration, human trafficking, etc.) are interconnected. Thus, to create real, lasting change, we must address these issues from all sides.

When we work together, each with our own unique focus, skills, and expertise, we can begin to build a better future for every family in our community.

This doesn't require something huge.
It could be a small step.

Your efforts, big or small, make a HUGE difference.

Everyone has a place along The River. 💙

When a family is in crisis, every moment matters.

In this episode, we're joined by Shaundricka Easley and Dr. Brock Boudreau from Texans Together to discuss how the principles guiding Community Based Care will bring about better outcomes for children and families in Houston.

What a team! 👏

We are incredibly proud of each of the people pictured here and the many ways they show up every single day for children and families across our city.

Every person brings something different to the table, and that is exactly what makes this work possible.

Things that matter are hard. We’re grateful we get to do this work together. 💙

At the root of Houston’s foster care crisis are 3 deeply interconnected challenges.

Ever since The Riverside Project was founded in 2018, we’ve been working every day to create meaningful change for vulnerable children and families in Houston.

As we look ahead to the next five years, we have a clear vision for how to deepen that impact.

Here’s how our team is working daily to solve each of these three challenges: https://riversideproject.org/blog/3-problems/
