BakerRipley's 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Support Program

BakerRipley partners with FOX 26, Exclusive Furniture, Walmart, and Chick-fil-A for the annual 12 Days of Christmas celebration. This holiday program brings joy and practical support to Houston-area families who participate in BakerRipley's year-round services. Families are nominated and selected to receive holiday gifts, household items, and special surprises during the December celebration. The program highlights inspiring stories like Ninfa Saenz, who received support through BakerRipley's Utility Assistance program since 2016 and recently moved back into her rebuilt home after Hurricane Harvey displacement. Another featured family was Courtney Ellis, who moved to Houston in 2023 after leaving an abusive relationship and rebuilt her life with help from BakerRipley's Community Navigator services. This initiative matters because it provides both material support and community recognition to families working toward stability. It shows how local partnerships can create meaningful holiday experiences for residents facing challenges. The program demonstrates BakerRipley's commitment to wraparound support—helping families not just survive but celebrate milestones and new beginnings. To get involved, connect with BakerRipley's programs throughout the year, as families are selected from existing participants. You can also support by volunteering with BakerRipley's ongoing services or following their social media to celebrate these uplifting community stories during the holiday season.
