Reflecting on Our Memories: Just a week ago, we hosted our Fall Harvest Luncheon at the beautiful Junior League of Houston, bringing together an incredible group of guests.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our sponsors and guests. Your generosity continues to drive our mission of building healthier communities in Spring Branch, West Houston, Cy-Fair, and Northwest Houston. Your support makes a lasting impact across Greater Houston!!

We are proud to honor our final Healthcare Hero Award to Ricardo Barnes, Executive Director of the Spring Branch Family Development Center. Since opening the center in 2001, Mr. Barnes has dedicated the past 24 years to establishing a successful multi-agency collaborative model. This model aims to provide low-income families with bilingual resources in education, recreation, health, and social services, all in one location. Each year, more than 14,000 individuals benefit from the services offered at SBFDC through the efforts of over 10 partner agencies. Recently, the Derecho storm and Hurricane Beryl severely impacted SBFDC’s surrounding community of 7,000 residents on Pitner Road, leaving thousands of children without access to power, food, and air conditioning for up to six days at a time. Mr. Barnes provided leadership and coordinated responses among Federal, State, County, and City governments, as well as nonprofit organizations, churches, and community volunteers. By leveraging various resources to meet the community's needs, over 40,000 hot meals were served, along with distributions of ice and water, and opportunities for residents to apply for aid through FEMA and other recovery services. Join us on Friday, October 10th, for an inspiring afternoon of connection and celebration. Reserve your seats today! Visit https://lnkd.in/gbKabvY8

Every autumn, Spring Branch Community Health Center (SBCHC) gathers friends, neighbors, and partners for an impactful celebration: The Fall Harvest Luncheon. In its 15th year, this cherished tradition is a rallying point for everyone who believes that community wellness is not a privilege, but a right for all.    On Friday, October 10, 2025, the elegant Ballroom at the Junior League of Houston will once again be filled with the warmth of shared purpose. From 11:00 AM registration to the closing champagne reception at 1:30 PM, guests will have the opportunity to connect, be inspired, and contribute to life-changing programs that uplift thousands of families each year. The funds raised during the Fall Harvest Luncheon directly sustain SBCHC’s commitment to patient-centered education and wellness programs. These programs include free prenatal classes, nutrition and diabetes management workshops, and free cancer screenings, which empower individuals to make healthy lifestyle choices and give families the resources to thrive. Each dollar pledged goes towards a healthier, stronger, and more resilient community.  The Fall Harvest Luncheon’s success relies on the generosity of sponsors, whose partnership ensures SBCHC can expand its reach year after year. From the Presenting Sponsor level to Healthy Neighborhoods Sponsor, each sponsorship offers recognition, visibility, and the knowledge that you’re directly fueling beneficial health programs for those who need them most.  By joining our Host Committee or becoming a sponsor, you’re ensuring that expectant mothers get the care they deserve, that individuals living with chronic conditions find the support they need, and that early screenings save lives before it’s too late. Mark your calendar. Bring your heart. Be part of the harvest.    For more information on sponsorship or donations, contact Gerard Peperone, gpeperone@sbchc.net 713-462-6565 ext. 251
