You can help to make the holidays brighter for hundreds of families in West Houston. WHAM is looking for individuals, businesses, civic organizations and churches to take part in their Adopt-A- Family program as well as the annual Holiday Toy drive.
Families begin registering in October to qualify for the Adopt-A-Family program. WHAM volunteers and staff work with them to determine their holiday wish list. Donations of new unwrapped toys and money are accepted. Toys and cash donations can be collected at WHAM offices, located at 10501 Meadowglen Lane.
Another way you can make Christmas a little brighter is by donating to the WHAM holiday toy drive. The annual event offers children 10 years and under new toys for Christmas. Toys most in need include: board games, dolls, books, crayons, Legos, educational toys, basketballs, footballs, baseballs, bats and stuffed animals.
Also needed are $25 gift cards for kids ages ten and up. The collection for the WHAM holiday toy drive also begins in October. Last year, 739 children received toys thanks to generous donations from the community.
