The annual Christmas campaign that benefits deserving children in Texas County recently shared ways individuals can help.
“We need donations of winter hats, gloves, socks and underwear for kids of all ages,” said Pat Miller, program coordinator. “We are also in need of good used clothing and shoes for men, women, and children and any type of household items.”
An Angel Tree is in place at Houston Walmart Supercenter on South U.S. 63. It details individual cases that need donations. ‘Toys for Tots’ are at various locations around town and benefit the campaign.
Cash donations can be dropped off at or mailed to the Houston Herald. Please include “Share Your Christmas” on the memo line.
