Now that Halloween is over, North Texas nonprofits are already turning their attention to Christmas.
Christian Community Action in Lewisville is helping a record number of families in southern Denton County right now, and they expect the need to be even higher this holiday season.
Montez says the need during the pandemic was incredible, but the need this year has been just as high. It means CCA will need at least 700 turkeys to give away this Thanksgiving. The charity isn't protected from shortages or inflation. CCA is also working to fulfill the Christmas wish lists of hundreds of children whose families have already applied for help, months in advance. "The number we have right now is already higher than the years we've seen before," said Montez.
