Volunteer on Christmas Day Houston – Food & Hunger Relief

Wesley House Houston

Wesley House Houston offers a variety of ways to volunteer, from assisting at their Food Pantry and Community Garden to supporting seniors and children in their programs. You can contribute by organizing virtual drives for essential items such as food, toiletries, and holiday gifts.  If you’re planning on organizing a virtual drive, I recommend getting started a day or so early. This way you have plenty of time to drop off the items and still spend time with friends and family.
