Pour Les Enfants (For the Children) is our annual Fall Fundraiser Gala that brings our supporters together to enjoy dinner, drinks, a live and silent auction, as well as a chance for them to hear about how their contributions have been used and future plans we have for further improving Garth House. This is our biggest and most important event of the year. This event brings in a large percentage of the funds we need to continue our work with child victims of sexual and severe physical abuse in Southeast Texas. We are located just under two hours away from houston and serve 6 counties: Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton, Orange and Tyler.

This will be our 33rd Annual Gala and will be held on November 16, 2023. The date is quickly approaching and we are currently putting together packages for our auctions. We would like to ask that you please consider donating an item or package that will be used to raise funds needed to provide services for the more than 900 children we will see this year.   

Garth House is a 501(C)(3) Nonprofit Organization that has been working with the children of Southeast Texas since 1991. We facilitate and conduct forensic interviews with children of alleged sexual and severe physical abuse in a home like environment, rather than that of a clinic or institution. Each interview is recorded so that the child does not have to recount their trauma repeatedly during the investigative, prosecutorial and healing process. On average we see around 900 children a year, with that number, unfortunately, growing ever year. Counseling is then offered to the children and their non-offending family members at no cost to them. In addition to providing Forensic Interviews, Family Advocacy and Counseling services, Garth House also provides Care Coordination services for survivors of child sex trafficking. There are approximately 79,000 Texas minors that are victims of child sex trafficking each year.
