For over a century, DePelchin has walked alongside children and the families who care for them, offering support that strengthens homes, heals trauma, and builds brighter futures. Some of our services—like parenting classes and counseling—help preserve and empower families. Others—such as foster care and adoption—ensure that children who have experienced hardship receive the safety, stability, and love they deserve.

At the heart of all we do is a simple belief: every child should grow up in a safe, nurturing home.

Since opening our doors in Houston in 1892, DePelchin’s programs have evolved to meet the changing needs of our community, yet our commitment to helping children has remained steadfast. Today, we proudly serve families not only in the Greater Houston area, but also in and around Austin, Lubbock, and San Antonio.
