Texas Center for the Missing
Welcome to Texas Center for the Missing

Texas Center for the Missing (formerly known as Gabriel’s Gifts Missing Children’s Organization) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to offering help, and hope, to the missing and their families. Founded in 2000 by Doreen Wise after the four-month disappearance and tragic loss of her son, Gabriel, the organization is dedicated to finding the missing quickly and providing support to their families. Building upon our founder’s desire to offer help to missing children and their parents, we have recently expanded into the rapidly growing field of Alzheimer’s patients who wander from their caregivers.
