About This Event

Gather with us for a warm and festive Luncheon to celebrate the hope that Loving Houston's Church School Partnerships bring to our local, public schools.

Click on the "Register & Donate" button at the top of the page to sponsor a table, register for the event, or donate to Loving Houston directly. 

Since 2013, the mission of Loving Houston has been to advance community transformation in Greater Houston by helping churches serve local schools.  Each year, hundreds of churches come alongside neighborhood schools, serving as the hands of feet of Christ and reaching students and families through tangible, meaningful ways.  Last school year (2024-2025), these church partners contributed over 134,000 volunteer hours—serving as mentors and tutors, hosting Staff Appreciation luncheons, providing food/clothing pantries, and so much more.  With 1,500 public schools in the Greater Houston area, imagine if every school had a committed, caring church partner!   Let’s love Houston together!
