Local nonprofit Be An Angel seeks 100 volunteers to holiday shop for special needs children

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Be An Angel, a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for children with special needs by providing adaptive equipment, hearing devices, select services, and support programs, has announced that it is seeking volunteers. These volunteers are needed to begin shopping for gifts to be given to more than 7,000 Houston-area, limited-income, special needs children with multiple disabilities or profound deafness.

Each child has an individual wish list. Funded by Be An Angel, the Holiday Gift Program began nearly 40 years ago so that these children can experience the joy of receiving gifts during the Christmas season.

• November 11 – Wal-Mart 9235 North Sam Houston Pkwy E., Humble
