Last Chance to Secure Your Table at The 6th Annual Bingo Bash!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it: The 6th Annual Avondale House Bingo Bash is almost sold out, so don't miss your chance to secure your spot before it's too late! The event is taking place the evening of Thursday, September 25, 2025, at the Junior League of Houston, and you won't want to miss out on the excitement.

This unforgettable night of fun, prizes, and friendly competition brings our community together to support a mission that urgently needs our support. All proceeds will benefit our program participants. For nearly 50 years, Avondale House has been a lifeline for those with profound autism, supporting them with the services that other organizations simply can't. Without Avondale House, many of these individuals would have nowhere to turn.

Don't forget about our crowd-favorite table competitions! Sponsors can decorate their tables and dress to impress according to their chosen theme, adding a splash of creativity and spirit to the evening.



Thank you for your continued support. “B-4” the fun begins, your generosity is already a big win for those we serve! If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to reach out to Valerie at valerier@avondalehouse.org.

New: Avondale House Playground Mural

We're so excited to unveil our new playground mural, brought to life by our amazing Art and Music Teacher, Joseph, with the help of some of our adult day program participants! Together, they created a masterpiece that will enhance the beauty of our playground area and inspire joy for years to come!

Meet Joel!

Joel is in our adult day program and has been a part of the Avondale House family since he was 13 years old. He is now 27 years old and has grown and developed exponentially through being at Avondale House.

"Avondale House means everything to us. Their programs have all been one of the biggest blessings in our lives. There have been many days when I wondered what we would do without Avondale House. The staff are so kind and want what is best for the children and clients. One of the happiest times was when Joel got a call that they had a spot for him in the adult day program. He has definitely become more independent because of Avondale House."
