Johnson Development Continues North Houston Volunteer Program

Johnson Development continues to make an impact in the north Houston region, teaming with area real estate agents to donate time and money to local charities.

Through its 2025 volunteer program, Johnson Development donated $8,000 and engaged 130 volunteers who worked 310 hours at four area non-profits: SIRE Therapeutic Horsemanship, Boys and Girls Country, The Ballard House and Cy-Hope.

“It’s inspiring to see the impact these charities have on the lives of people living in the north Houston region,” said Monica Conchola, Realtor Relations Liaison for Johnson Development’s north Houston communities. “We are happy to not only donate our time and money to support their efforts, but also to introduce them to others in the area who might continue volunteering.”

Charities Supported in 2025

In February, a team of 40 Realtors and Johnson Development employees volunteered at SIRE Therapeutic Horsemanship, which uses equine-assisted activities and therapies to help people with disabilities. The group worked for three hours to clean horse stalls, hang blinds in the barn, remove old obstacles and paint new obstacles and gates.

Thirty real estate agents and Johnson Development staff worked at Boys and Girls Country in June, preparing emergency kits and organizing boxes from their summer event. Boys and Girls Country is a residential community for children ages 5 to 18 where each cottage operates as an independent family unit. They also provide a home to young adults trying to obtain a degree or a technical certification, enter the military or begin their careers.

The Ballard House was next, with a group of 30 volunteering in September. They cleaned apartments and cooked dinner for overnight guests as they or their loved ones awaited medical treatment at a nearby hospital. The volunteers also trimmed bushes, watered plants and added some cheer by putting up holiday décor.

“We absolutely loved having the team from Johnson Development for Adopt-a-Day at The Ballard House,” said David Brown, Executive Director. “We are so grateful for both the financial support and the willingness by so many to assist with all the things needed in a day to take care of our guests and caregivers. It was very inspiring for our guests to see so many from Johnson assisting and serving with us.”

In November, 25 volunteers helped Cy-Hope prepare for upcoming holiday events by packaging silverware, sorting gifts and wrapping presents for decorations. Cy-Hope partners with families, schools and the community to help students in the Cy-Fair Independent School District.

Johnson Development also gave each charity $2,000.
