Who we are...... What we do......

The Greater Houston Area Chapter of NAAFA is a local branch of a size acceptance organization, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. NAAFA strives to end discrimination against and negative stereotyping of large people.

NAAFA acheives this by positive social activism, education, networking, sharing of resources, and providing a safe and accepting atmosphere for large people, their friends, families and admirers to gather and have fun.

Houston NAAFA is open to ALL people who feel that it is wrong to discriminate against, or otherwise mistreat a person because of their size. There are large people in all facets of society, regardless of: Education, ethnic background, religion, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, physical and mental ability, race, age, or political affiliation.
