Donate Easter Baskets to Benefit Habitat for Humanity Northwest Harris County’s Toolbox Bash Gala
If you're wondering what to do with those leftover Easter baskets, Habitat for Humanity Northwest Harris County has the perfect solution. From April 17 to April 24, the nonprofit is hosting a Basket Collection Drive, calling on the community to donate gently-used baskets of all styles—plastic, woven, or decorative—for a good cause.
All donated baskets will be repurposed for use at the organization's upcoming Toolbox Bash Gala, a fundraising event that supports Habitat’s mission to build affordable housing and strengthen local families. To sweeten the deal, each donor will be entered into a drawing to win two free tickets to the Toolbox Bash, taking place Saturday, April 26 at the Omni Houston Hotel.
A Simple Way to Support Affordable Housing in Northwest Harris County
The drop-off location for baskets is 11450 Compaq Center Drive #106 in Houston, and donations are accepted Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This simple act of generosity helps prepare for one of the nonprofit’s largest fundraising events of the year, while also promoting sustainability and reuse.
Community members are encouraged to clean out their closets and give their leftover Easter baskets a new purpose—helping local families in need of safe, decent housing.
