Mission Statement
RECLAIM, RESTORE & REGAIN
At Chat N Chew, we are committed to EMPOWERING single parents affected by domestic abuse. Our Founder and volunteers have first-hand experience with the hardships that come with these situations, and are dedicated to providing the right resources to help them RECLAIM their lives, RESTORE their financial stability, and REGAIN independence. We strive to be a reliable partner that will help them create a brighter, more promising future.
We are a small, faith-based non-profit organization that works to empower single parents affected by abuse. Our mission is to provide the support and resources needed for them to become self-sufficient and secure. We offer counseling, therapy, guidance, and necessary resources such as food and household items to help build a strong foundation for a brighter future.
Although we are not an emergency shelter, housing, or financial assistance program, we remain dedicated to seeing our community thrive. If you need immediate assistance, please contact 211 at www.211texas.org or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233.
