Centros Familiares de la Comunidad
It’s hotter than an oven
in Houston right now,

And while you want to do something worthwhile for a community organization, the thought of leaving your house and baking in your own skin at another event is the last thing most of us want to do.
  
Well, CFC has the solution to cheer up your late summer heat woes!
Couch potatoes can be heroes too by participating in the first
Couch Potato Gala for Community Family Centers.
  
Community Family Centers cordially invites you and your family
to enjoy a wonderful stay-at-home evening to
benefit individuals and families served by CFC.
Just make a donation or become a sponsor and
enjoy the Couch Potato's ultimate affair:

COMMUNITY FAMILY CENTERS (CFC)
 
CFC provides community-based social and educational services to low-income families in Houston’s East End. Since its inception in 1972 by a group of community advocates, CFC has grown to an agency serving more than 40,000 clients each year.
 
Houston's East End families continue to be challenged by unmet needs including lack of affordable services like access to fresh and healthy food, insufficient access to affordable after-school programs, limited job opportunities, and a lack of adequate public services or recreational activities for youth. 
 
CFC provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to excel, promoting opportunities for adults to learn, strengthening community partnerships, and promoting cultural understanding and community empowerment.
