HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- With just a week until Christmas, there's still time for Houstonians to help a child in need.

The local nonprofit, BEAR, stands for "BE A Resource." They're making a final push to provide gifts for kids in the greater Houston area.

Outreach coordinator Rebecca Moran says they need everything from unwrapped toys, books, and hygiene items to help at-risk children in need.

BEAR's holiday program, BEARing Gifts, seeks to provide more than 23,000 children with brand-new holiday gifts each year.

Thanks to the incredible passion and hard work of dedicated volunteers, selfless donors, and generous sponsors, the holidays are made special for at-risk and CPS-involved children who may otherwise not experience the joy of the holiday season.
