Building Strong Futures

How We Help Our Texas Communities

At MCFS, we understand that a healthy childhood is the foundation for a successful future. That’s why we offer funding for a variety of programs designed to meet the essential needs of Texas children and families. Whether it’s ensuring access to quality dental care, providing educational support, or offering specialized therapies for children with special needs, MCFS is here to help children thrive and families stay strong.

Medical Treatment/Therapy

MCFS funds medical treatment by a physician or therapist. Each case is unique and requires a treatment plan to be submitted by a physician.

Children’s Dental Services

We believe every child deserves a healthy smile! We provide funding for urgent dental care, such as cavity fillings, root canals, and extractions, to alleviate pain and prevent future complications. We also teach thousands of children how to prevent tooth decay through our fun and educational Fantastic Teeth Fan Club, promoting healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Therapies for Children with Special Needs

We partner with expert providers to offer funding and resources for children with autism, learning disabilities, and other needs requiring specialized therapies. These therapies can make a world of difference in a child’s life, helping them develop essential skills, improve communication, and gain greater independence. MCFS also offers a free, two-week parent training program partnered with the Child Study Center in Fort Worth and University of Houston-Clearlake, equipping parents with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child’s development at home.
