Wish List

We are a big household with over 100 children and young adults!  With your help, we can provide for their needs, day in and day out!  Here is our current Wish List of most needed items. 

To help, you can donate new or gently used items on the list by bringing them to our northwest Houston-area campus at 18806 Roberts Road, Hockley, TX 77447. 

Can't make it out to the campus?  You can make a quick and convenient online gift toward the purchase of any of these items!  Donate now and use the "Comments" section of the donation form to let us know what we may purchase with your gift!

If you would like to donate items not on the list – we need everything from livestock to event tickets, year round – or if you have any questions, contact Ginny Hargrave, Director of Development, at 281-351-4976, extension 172 or by email at ginny.hargrave@boysandgirlscountry.org.
