St. Rita Foundation was founded in 2013 by Lonie Nguyen to provide aide relief to families in need. Our current project is helping those in rural villages in Vietnam with proper sustainable nutrition and healthcare. In Vietnam, there is a dire need for help and growth of the people. Many of the low lying areas get the help that they need from other nonprofit organizations but somehow other areas go unnoticed. With the help of the local nuns and priests, these villagers get minimal aid but the assistance that they provide at times is not sufficient. Many children that live in the rural villages do not have enough food to eat, clean running water or a decent place to sleep. Because there is no access to clean running water, most individuals become ill through waterborne contaminants. Many children are also severely malnourished and lack the basic nutrients to keep them sustained or alive. Unfortunately, many of these children become seriously underdeveloped and for some, die. They face illness such as: • Typhoid Fever • Encephalitis • Leptospirosis • Meningococcal Meningitis • Hepatitis To name a few but of course there are other issues that affect the well-being of these families.

ABOUT US: City Wide Club of Clubs (CWCC) is the outgrowth of an effort begun in 1975 by local high school and college students wanting to give back to their local community (Harris County) of their time and talent. Students held educational and career discussion seminars for junior and high school students. The panels consisted of professionals from the community who were invited to take part in discussions with students. Some of the topics covered included career goals, scholarships, drugs, teen pregnancy, crime and higher education. Students heard from lawyers, doctors, government officials, clergy, professional athletes, media personalities and military personnel. At the first panel, there was a record turn out of 600 students. We discovered that a portion of these studentsand personal problems and came from dysfunctional homes and were in need of extensive counseling and training. At the time, one of our volunteers who was running for a City Council seat became ill and his campaign office lease was paid up for three months, the office space and phones were donated to CWCC during this period to conduct follow-ups from the school visits. From the very first day the office opened for services, we had over 215 students and parents to seek services. From there, the rest is history. The City Wide Club evolved into an established organization in 1975 and was later chartered in 1982 and received its exemption in 1983 under Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Gateway to Care began as a program of Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services (HCPHES) and was conceived as a collaboration of healthcare partners. In 2000, Gateway to Care was established by five major healthcare providers in search of strategies to address the serious imbalances to the healthcare system created by the Harris County region’s exceedingly high rate of uninsured. For the first two years, Gateway to Care remained at HCPHES. In 2002, given its focus on reducing emergency room 'frequent flyer' use, it became a department of the Harris County Hospital District (HCHD). After four supportive years with the Hospital District, it was decided that Gateway to Care could have more operational flexibility and better serve its target population and its mission of facilitating collaborations among diverse partners as a not-for-profit organization. As a result, in 2006 Gateway to Care was incorporated as an independent non-profit organization. Today, Gateway to Care is a collaborative whose member and affiliate organizations have found power and success in working together. Our Mission To facilitate access to adequate health care for uninsured and underinsured residents in the Texas Gulf Coast Region by establishing a mechanism for health care agencies, health service related coalitions, and advocacy groups to coordinate common administrative and service delivery requirements to provide a seamless service delivery system and cultivate a Culture of Health. Our Vision 100% access to healthcare for uninsured and underinsured residents. Our Tagline: 'Leading Communities Toward a Culture of Health'
