Welcome to the Womenade Of Houston web site!

 

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. That advice was the seed that grew to become Womenade. Amy Kossoff, a doctor in Washington DC, conceived the idea from her desire to make a difference in the world on a very personal level. She gathered a group of friends, who invited more friends, to share a potluck dinner and contribute the cost of an evening out to the charity. They raised $3000. Womenade was born.

 

This grassroots movement has spread throughout the United States. Laura Thomas, inspired by an article about Womenade, founded Womenade of Houston, a recognized Texas non-profit corporation that is actively seeking its 501(c)3 status with the IRS.

The mission of Womenade of Houston is to provide financial and other support to charities that assist individuals who are abused, neglected, disadvantaged, or have disabilities, while educating women about social issues and how, together, we can help.

"What do we live for if it is not to make life less difficult for others?"
-- George Eliot
