HOUSTON — For nearly 25 years, KHOU 11 has been committed to bringing holiday joy to families in need through our Secret Santa Toy Drive. This cherished tradition supports the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program, which provides holiday assistance to disadvantaged children across the Houston area. Last year, thanks to your remarkable generosity, we raised over $100,000 in cash and toy donations, lighting up the holidays for countless families.
But this year, the need is even greater. With the rising costs of essentials, more families are finding it difficult to make ends meet, let alone create a festive holiday for their children. Together, we can change that.
A Special Thank You to Our Partners We extend heartfelt gratitude to our incredible sponsors—Amazon, American Furniture Warehouse, Christian Brothers Automotive, and Reliant—whose generous support helps us spread the magic of the season.
