- About Vibha Dallas
We have chosen CITY House to be our local beneficiary for this year as well.
CITY House is a large home located near downtown Plano, Texas and houses about 10 to 15 children at any point of time. Children who are removed from their families when a need for intervention is felt, are housed in CITY House temporarily until they can be reunited with their families or found a place in a long term shelter/camp. Currently CITY House is the only facility of it's kind in Collin County. Many children are unable to get the kind of support extended by CITY House due to the lack of such facilities in the county.
Vibha Dallas will help City House by:
Donating 10% of the Vibha Walk 2009 Proceeds
Volunteering at CITY House
