Selah Creek fundraiser features Capitol flag, supports mothers and babies

Selah Creek Maternity Home has put a U.S. flag flown over the U.S. Capitol into a virtual auction to raise money for pregnant women and babies in Rockwall County. The bidding opened July 4 and runs through August 4, giving local donors a month to claim a patriotic collectible while directly supporting a residential maternity home.

The flag was flown on May 17, 2026, during Rededicate 250, a National Mall gathering in Washington, D.C., organized as an all-day faith-centered observance ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary. The item comes with an official certificate of authenticity, which adds both collectible value and a documented link to the Capitol ceremony.

For Rockwall County, the auction is less about memorabilia than about services. Selah Creek says it provides long-term housing for pregnant women and their babies for up to a year, giving mothers time to build a secure future. North Texas Giving Day identifies the organization as a nonprofit serving pregnant women and their babies, and says its housing program is designed to give families up to a year to stabilize.

Selah Creek was founded in 2015 in Rockwall County and is described as a faith-based support system on a 10-acre property with mentoring and professionally trained staff. The Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce says the home operates as a safe house and keeps its physical location private for the safety of residents and staff. That privacy is part of the model, since the home is built to shelter women and infants while keeping the setting secure.

The auction ties that local mission to a national symbol at a time when patriotic collecting and charitable giving often overlap. Residents who bid are not just competing for a piece of Capitol history. They are helping underwrite housing, supervision, and support for mothers and babies in a county where Selah Creek has positioned itself as a private, residential option for families in crisis.
