HOUSTON – As the holiday season brightens Houston, organizations across the city are stepping up to ensure no one is left out of the festive spirit. Among them, Houston Children’s Charity stands out with its *Annual Toy Distribution*. This initiative supports families facing economic hardships by offering toys and gift cards to hundreds of children. Parents, acting as “shoppers,” select gifts with the help of volunteer “elves,” allowing them to personally surprise their children on Christmas morning. The distribution event will take place on December 20th at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Meanwhile, H-E-B’s *Feast of Sharing* provides a different but equally impactful gesture. On December 14th, at the NRG Yellow Lot, this drive-thru event distributes thousands of hot meals and holiday meal boxes to Houston families. With live music and cheerful volunteers, the Feast not only nourishes but also uplifts, creating a sense of community unity and celebration.

Programs like these embody the spirit of giving, which civil rights leader Coretta Scott King eloquently described: *“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.”* This sentiment resonates deeply as Houstonians work together to bring joy to neighbors in need, proving that the holiday season is about more than gifts—it’s about shared humanity and hope.
