Who We Are
Tip of Texas Family Outreach is a non-profit organization established to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect by providing an array of supportive services, information and referrals.
The organization was formed from an idea developed and nurtured by Mrs. Gloria Hughes, a former nurse and member of the Cameron County Child Welfare Board. She shared her vision of making "the prevention of child abuse" a reality in our community. In January 1987, her vision was the impetus for the creation of the Tip of Texas Family Outreach. It was formed by a steering committee comprised of volunteers who held a special passion to serve as advocates for children. The agency opened its doors to the public in March 1989 and has been providing confidential and compassionate services to families residing in the City of Brownsville and its surrounding communities.
Our goal is to ensure children are raised in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment.
