We are proud to have touched the lives of 34,930 children, families, professionals, and other community members. We continue with a strong commitment to our mission to improve our communitites' health, safety and productivity by reducing the incidence and impact of alcohol and drug abuse.

Give Hope Campaign
Consider The Council when making your holiday contributions
It's almost Christmas! For many, the joys of the holidays bring family visits, school and office parties and gift-giving. Even with the excitement of the season, the year-end holidays can be difficult if you or a loved one has a concern about alcohol and other drugs. No matter the season, The Council is here to offer
hope
.
Our annual Give Hope Campaign allows us to provide prevention and intervention programs and services to children, youth and adults year-round. Nearly 35,000 people in North Texas received
hope
from The Council because of your gifts to last year's Campaign.
Next year, we want to extend hope to 40,000 people - or more - and we need your help to do it. The Give Hope Campaign will launch December 1 and end December 31. Your support of the Give Hope Campaign will allow us to be there for the many people who urgently need our assistance. Your gift of any amount will allow The Council to provide a brighter and more hopeful future to many of our neighbors and children all across North Texas. Donate to the Give Hope Campaign:
