WHERE TO VOLUNTEER FOR THE HOLIDAYS

The holidays are a good excuse to give a little love back to Houston. ❤️ Whether you want to serve meals, help families pick out gifts, spend time with seniors, support local shelters, or lend a hand at a food bank, there are plenty of ways to get involved. We rounded up places around Houston looking for volunteers this holiday season, so find something that means something to you and spend a few hours making someone else’s season a little brighter.
