Seasons of Caring

Seasons of Caring expands the heart of Seasons of Sharing by turning the holiday spirit into action. While Seasons of Sharing celebrates the many traditions that make Houston vibrant, Seasons of Caring focuses on doing good together and how you can care for other! Families can take part in hands-on projects that support local communities, uplift those in need, and help kids understand the impact of kindness.
