Strength in Service 2026
A breakfast honoring Veterans
Join Family Houston for the 2026 Strength in Service Breakfast, a special morning dedicated to honoring the courage, sacrifice, and service of our nation’s veterans while raising critical funds to support veteran families throughout Greater Houston.
This year’s program will feature keynote speaker Reid Wiseman, NASA Astronaut, Artemis II Commander, and 27-year U.S. Navy veteran, followed by a special Q&A with Family Houston President & CEO Ken Sheirr exploring leadership, service, resilience, and the experiences that have shaped Wiseman’s remarkable career.

As a 122-year-old legacy nonprofit, Family Houston continues its long-standing commitment to helping individuals and families navigate life’s most challenging moments through care, connection, and practical support.
