Officials with DePelchin Children’s Center—a Houston-based nonprofit that aims to help vulnerable children and families—broke ground May 22 on a new volunteer services building at the group's Memorial Drive location.

The building was made possible in large part by a $2 million donation from the Junior League of Houston, which the building will be named after, officials said in a May 24 news release. It will open in 2025.

The two-story building will quadruple DePelchin’s capacity to provide donated goods to support families and children in need, according to the release. When completed, it will also allow the nonprofit to expand its family classroom and volunteer workroom space.

In addition to the Junior League donation, the $8 million center was funded by donations raised through DePelchin's "Big Hearts, Bright Futures" capital campaign, according to the release.

Opening 2025.

Studio Red Architects is designing a new two-story, 21,000-square-foot volunteer center at DePelchin’s Memorial campus.

This new building will quadruple DePelchin’s capacity to provide donated goods to support families and children in need. Additionally, the expansion will double its family classroom and volunteer workroom space to support its mission to enhance children’s mental and physical well-being.

This facility will be named “Junior League of Houston Volunteer Services Building at DePelchin Children’s Center,” in honor of the League’s $2,000,000 commitment to help fund the construction. With a projected grand opening date of June 2025, the new facility will begin serving the Houston community in conjunction with the League’s celebration of its Centennial Anniversary. It will feature a “History Wall” of archival material that will visually illustrate the century of partnership between the organizations.
