THANK YOU PASH!
On Tuesday, December 7, 2021, PASH held a luncheon for its members and guests to celebrate the Holiday Season. In the spirit of giving and in keeping with our established tradition, we collected gifts for the homeless of Houston. On behalf of the Star of Hope, the PASH Board thanks everyone who attended the luncheon and donated to our Houston homeless.
Although we focused on the Holiday season, the families in need of the Star of Hope services rely on donations year round. If you have not had a chance to donate or want to continue to make a difference please do not hesitate to make a contribution. You can drop off donations at the following centers:
1. Downtown at 2320 Lamar and Emancipation - Large Warehouse
