Since 1945, Boys’ Haven has stood as a place of refuge and opportunity for young men in Southeast Texas. What began as a small home for boys in need has grown into a trauma-informed residential program that helps youth heal, learn, and prepare for independent adulthood.

For over 80 years, our mission has remained the same: to provide safety, guidance, and hope to boys who have faced difficult circumstances. Through programs like the Journey House, residents gain life skills, education, and mentorship that empower them to build brighter futures.

The Annual Crawfish, Food & Music Festival, now in its 41st year, is more than just a community tradition. It is the cornerstone fundraiser that sustains Boys’ Haven’s programs. Each ticket purchased, each sponsorship pledged, and each plate of crawfish enjoyed directly supports the boys who call Boys’ Haven home.

When you join us on May 9, 2026, you’re not just attending a festival — you’re investing in lives, strengthening our community, and helping Boys’ Haven carry forward a legacy of hope.
