What is FOCUS?
FOCUS, Fellowship of Christians United for Service, exists to walk alongside individuals and families in the Harris County community as they navigate life’s hardest seasons. Through the support of local churches, practical resources, and meaningful relationships, we help people move from crisis to stability and from survival to hope. From food, clothing, and essential needs to recovery support, children’s programs, and life-changing wraparound services, FOCUS meets people where they are and helps them take their next step forward. Everything we do is rooted in the love of Christ and powered by neighbors helping neighbors.
When you partner with FOCUS whether by giving, volunteering, or praying you become part of real stories of transformation. Together, we’re building stronger families, restoring hope, and changing lives in our community.

Lives Touched
Each number represents a person served, a family supported, and hope in action. From food and recovery to fitness and family support, these numbers tell the story of lives changed.

There is no us without you!
The King will reply, "I will tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25:40
