Child Advocates of Fort Bend Announces 2019 Christmas Home Tour Dates

---

Child Advocates of Fort Bend’s Christmas Home Tour committee is busy preparing for its 28th annual Christmas Home Tour on December 13th and 14th, 2019.

This event began 28 years ago as a fundraiser to keep the agency’s doors open. A group of volunteers, many of whom are still involved in the agency, opened their homes, decorated for Christmas, baked cookies and charged admission. The tour was a success and has since become a Fort Bend County holiday tradition ever since.

Over the two days of the event, more than 2,000 guests will tour private Fort Bend County homes all decked out for Christmas. This year’s homes are in Sweetwater, Alkire Lake, Sugar Creek and Sienna Plantation. More than 1,000 volunteers will help as hosts and hostesses in the homes, serving as entertainers or by baking cookies. This is a spirited community event, but most importantly, it is a fundraiser. Ninety-four percent of all of the money raised through this event goes directly to programs and services that benefit the children served by Child Advocates of Fort Bend. In 2018, the agency served 2,586 children and families, which was twenty-three percent higher than the prior year due to a huge increase in reports of child abuse. Community support of this event is essential to helping abused and neglected children in our community.
