DePelchin Children’s Center has opened a new center in Texas City to provide guidance and assistance to families in the Galveston County area.
The DePelchin Family Resource Center is now open at 2925 Palmer Highway, Suite B. Families with children from birth to 5 years old can come to learn about services DePelchin provides, such as parenting classes and one-on-one guidance for fathers. DePelchin staff can also connect parents with other resources in the community, from child care to employment resources. The center also includes space where parents can read to their children.
“Our goal is to provide a support hub for parents and caregivers,” said Megan Green, DePelchin’s Director of Family Services. “This is a place where members of our community can come for guidance and support on the types of issues that all families face.”
Walk-ins are welcome, or parents can make appointments to visit with DePelchin staff by calling (713) 558-3720. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
DePelchin is a Houston-based organization that has served children and families for more than 130 years with services including foster care, adoption, parenting classes and counseling. DePelchin also has Family Resource Centers in Houston and San Antonio.
