Giving Tuesday

This Giving Tuesday, OCA-Greater Houston is taking donations for low-income seniors and families in the Greater Houston area. Rising prices are making it harder for people who already live on tight budgets to meet their basic needs, especially with the holiday season approaching.

With your support, we can provide nutritious food, relief, and hope to those who are struggling with food insecurity. Every dollar makes a real difference in bringing joy to families and seniors across our community.

Help ensure no one in our community goes hungry. 100% of donations will be going directly to support families and seniors struggling with food insecurity. Give today on Giving Tuesday!
