The holiday season is near, bringing joy, celebration, and an excellent opportunity to make a difference in our community. Here at The Parks at Wilson Creek, we believe that giving back strengthens the bonds between neighbors and brings warmth to those in need. For those looking to give back in the Celina, TX area, here are some incredible local organizations you can support this season.
Grace Bridge
In Celina, TX, Grace Bridge is a community-centered nonprofit offering vital resources to needy families. Volunteers can assist with their weekly food distributions or support the Grace Bridge Resale Store in Frisco. Whether sorting and organizing donated items or helping with food distribution events, there’s a place for everyone to lend a hand. This holiday season, they especially need help sorting donations and packing food for local families.
Collin County Animal Services
For animal lovers, Collin County Animal Services, located in McKinney, TX, provides an ideal way to give back by helping care for shelter animals. Volunteers assist with daily animal care, socialization, and even adoption events. The holidays often bring an influx of animals needing care, so extra hands are especially welcome this time of year. By giving your time, you’ll help make the shelter a more comfortable and welcoming environment for these animals and increase their chances of finding forever homes.
Helping Hands of Celina
Helping Hands of Celina focuses on providing basic needs and resources to local families, especially those facing financial hardships. During the holidays, they are looking for volunteers to help organize food and clothing drives, assemble care packages, and support special holiday events to spread cheer among families in need. This organization is a great place to start for those wanting to help their neighbors directly and make a tangible impact.
Volunteer Center of North Texas
The Volunteer Center of North Texas, which serves Collin County and its surrounding areas, connects residents with numerous opportunities across the region, making finding a cause that resonates with you easy. Whether you’re interested in supporting youth services, senior care, or environmental projects, they have something for everyone. For the holiday season, the center highlights the need for toy drives, holiday meals, and care package assembly, giving everyone the chance to make a difference.
ManeGait Therapeutic Horsemanship
ManeGait, founded by the owners of Tradition Homes (one of our incredible builders!), and located in McKinney, TX, offers unique volunteer experiences with therapy horses for children and adults with disabilities. Volunteers with and without experience with horses can sign up to become “sidewalkers” who assist riders during lessons or “horse leaders” responsible for guiding horses safely. With over 1,200 volunteers supporting their mission each year, ManeGait creates a peaceful, uplifting environment where you can make a profound impact. During the holidays, ManeGait also hosts special events that require extra support, making this a wonderful time to get involved.
