HOUSTON – Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston has kicked off its annual back-to-school supply drive to help children in need start the school year with the essentials. Community members can support the effort by dropping off items at designated collection sites, buying supplies through the agency’s Amazon Charity List, or volunteering to help pack or distribute backpacks.
