Friends of North Rosenberg

On Friday, February 5th, 2021 our Friends of North Rosenberg held their Steel Signing Event where residents, volunteers, Rosenberg City Council members, Commissioner Vincent Morales, Fort Bend County Parks Dept., Rosenberg Development Corporation, and AP staff came out to sign the steel beams and pray over the new resource building.

On December 14th, 2020, construction officially began moving for the new resource building.

The building is also estimated to be finished by September of 2021.

Our work is HOLISTIC. We understand the connections between: a decent place to live, a living wage job, spiritual health, clean water, quality education, child care, healthy families, basic and financial literacy, transportation and access to health care for sustainability.

The driving force behind all this is EMPOWERMENT. We are all about giving people tools to help themselves break out of the cycle of generational poverty. It’s about DEVELOPMENT, not charity; DIGNITY, not shame. Believing all humans are created in the image of God, we will always promote the dignity and worth of people and families.
