Support Local Charities
The following are local charities in the DFW Metroplex that are not affiliated with a national organization. These charities help our community in so many ways providing counseling, shelter and housing for abused women and children, training, guidance and housing for girls and young women coming out of abusive situations and even sex trafficking and other needed community services.
Let's not forget those less fortunate than we are - "there but by the Grace of God go I!"
