Interfaith of The Woodlands Serves over 11,000 Neighbors Through Their 2025 Holiday GIVING Programs

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Interfaith of The Woodlands remained a vital source of support throughout the 2025 holiday season, serving thousands of local neighbors with food, gifts, and critical assistance during one of the most demanding times of the year.

Interfaith’s annual Holiday GIVING Programs supported nearly 11,500 neighbors, children, and Seniors experiencing financial hardship by providing holiday meals, gifts, and resources that help ease seasonal stress. Interfaith’s Adopt A Family, Gifts for Seniors and Holiday Toy Drive and Distribution were made possible through the extraordinary generosity of individuals, families, congregations, businesses, and community partners across South Montgomery County.

Community members donated thousands of toys and gifts, volunteered countless hours, and provided financial support to ensure neighbors in need could experience the joy of the holidays. Interfaith extends a special thank you to longtime corporate partner Waste Connections for donating 132 bicycles through its annual Bike Build, bringing smiles to children and families throughout the community and to The Woodlands Fire Department for their partnership in drop-off locations.

Interfaith also hosted its annual Seniors Holiday GIVING Lunch at Sts. Simon and Jude Catholic Parish, welcoming a record-breaking number of attendees. The event was generously sponsored by Woodforest National Bank.

Member Congregations and local organizations also hosted toy drives and volunteered, helping organize and distribute gifts while assisting families as they come through Interfaith’s Holiday Toy Distribution to pick out toys for their children.

“Each year, thousands of neighbors turn to Interfaith during the holidays, often during moments of great uncertainty,” said Missy Herndon, President & CEO of Interfaith of The Woodlands. “Because of the compassion and generosity of our community, we are able to meet those needs and ensure families, children, and Seniors feel supported, valued, and remembered during the holiday season.”

Interfaith of The Woodlands is deeply grateful for the outpouring of support through both in-kind and monetary donations that made lifechanging impact on our neighbors in crisis.
