Holiday Giving Opportunities

If you’re wanting to help local families in need this holiday season, consider making a donation to the NRH Toy & Food Drive or the Mayoral Red Kettle Challenge. 

  • Toy & Food Drive - New, unwrapped toys and boxed or canned food can be dropped off at any NRH Fire Station or the Public Safety lobby at City Hall through Christmas. Donations are given to the Community Enrichment Center who distributes them to needy families in the community. 
  • Red Kettle Challenge - Mayor Oscar Trevino is competing against mayors of other area cities to see who can raise the most money for the Salvation Army this holiday season. If you would like help, you can donate through the Mayor’s virtual red kettle link or by texting NRH to 71777. Helpers will also be ringing the bell at some of our local stores on Dec. 10. All donations help the Salvation Army assist local families in need at Christmas time and throughout the year.

Whether you give to one of these charities or another of your choosing, we thank you for giving back to the community!
