Faith-based organizations switch gears to help underprivileged families this Christmas
HOUSTON – Angels of Light is a huge Christmastime ministry conducted by Houston’s Second Baptist Church for 31 years. Every year, several thousand underprivileged families, known as angels, are transported to the church’s six Houston-area campuses to receive clothes, food for holiday meals, and Christmas presents. So we’ve lined up with all the agencies, all the entities that are there all over Houston.”Second Baptist is an example of many churches and faith-based organizations forced to change how they reach families this holiday season. Executive director Dana Thomas said COVID-19 has radically affected and reduced the number of families they serve. They still want their kids to feel special just like everybody else.”To help support families in need this holiday season, reach out to Second Baptist Church at second.org and The FORGE for Families at forgeforfamiles.org.
