Variety of Texas envisions a world where every child experiences joy, dignity, and connection
Welcome to Variety of Texas
Variety – the Children’s Charity of Texas is a 90-year-old nonprofit organization that partners with children with disabilities and their families to expand access, inclusion, and opportunities across the state. We support children with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities year-round by strengthening the resources and environments that help them thrive. Our mission is to provide equipment, services, and experiences that enhance autonomy, belonging, and joyful participation in all areas of life.
Since 1936, Variety of Texas has connected families with thousands of pieces of essential equipment—such as electric wheelchairs, adaptive bikes, communication devices, and mobility aids—that increase access and support each child’s preferred ways of moving, communicating, and engaging. Over the last 20 years, we have invested more than $3.5 million in medical and therapeutic resources for families who encounter gaps in traditional coverage. Our programs foster inclusive environments that honor each child’s strengths and support meaningful participation, confidence, and joy.
Variety of Texas serves more than 7,000 individuals
each year through a continuum of inclusive programs, including adaptive bike camps, outdoor adaptive education, adaptive recreation, therapy, equipment, and financial assistance, most offered at little or no cost, either at our Peaceable Kingdom Retreat Center or through mobile outreach.
