3 A Bereavement Foundation

​​​The loss of a loved one is always a difficult time, and it can be even harder for those who are struggling to make ends meet. That's where 3ABF comes in. We offer a wide range of bereavement services for low-income and working poor families in the Houston Metropolitan Area. Since our inception in 1997, we have helped 13,000 families heal from the loss of their loved one through emotional and financial support. We are the only organization in Houston offering comprehensive bereavement services, and we are always seeking volunteers to meet the demand of families in need. If you're looking for a way to give back to your community, please consider volunteering with us. We guarantee it will be a rewarding experience.

3ABF serves bereaved families near or at the poverty level in the Houston Metropolitan Area. We concentrate on low-income and working poor families who have suffered through the ordeal of long-term illnesses or are shattered by unexpected losses. For the most part, "needy", "poor" and/or "low-income" are not synonymous with homeless or jobless. ​Most of the families served by 3ABF are classified as the working poor. These are the loved ones of crime victims, AIDS patients, the severely disabled, the elderly on fixed incomes, stillborn infants, babies and children with birth defects or terminal illnesses, runaways, etc. Over 95% of the families we serve are classified as ethnic minorities and reside in the City of Houston. Family Support Services are made available to all referrals.
