Woodlands Online’s Giving Tree Farm gives you an easy way to brighten the holidays for those in need

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Besides this week being the onset of the giving season of the holidays, it’s also the time of Giving Tuesday, an annual opportunity to get in your last-minute donations for the year.

Not only are you helping nonprofit organizations at their greatest yearly need on Giving Tuesday, but in return you can use a majority – or all – of your donations to lower your income level for tax purposes; there’s no shame in mixing altruism with good financial sense.

That being said, many people don’t have a ‘go-to’ nonprofit or cause, and they can become easily overwhelmed by requests for donations. The pressure to give to the proper cause can be enough for even the most kindhearted to freeze up.

Fortunately, Woodlands Online has done some research and contacted area nonprofits to survey their needs, and has put together a comprehensive list of the best ways you can do the best good. Our resulting Giving Tree Farm – sponsored by The Woodlands Methodist Church – is a quick, easy way to find a cause, entity, or organization to share a Christmas gift with this year.

We’ve contacted area non-profits to survey their needs this year. Browse below to see if they desire gift cards, money, necessities or gifts/toys this year. Use the links for more information.Let's get them ready for a great 2026 serving our community!
