Mitzvah Day Collection for Star of Hope

Help us make a big difference with everyday essentials. As part of our Mitzvah Day efforts, we’re collecting much-needed items for Star of Hope, which supports individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our Houston community.

We are collecting new, unopened packages of diapers and feminine hygiene products.

These items may seem small, but they make a real difference. Access to diapers and hygiene products helps provide comfort, dignity, and stability during an already challenging time. Your donation helps ensure that basic needs don’t become added obstacles for those working to rebuild their lives.

Donation bins will be available in the Bender Levy and Administrative Lobby now through Sunday, January 18.
