About Noahs Give-a-Gift Inc
Noah’s Give-A-Gift brings Christmas toys and clothing to children through partnerships with elementary schools in Houston-area communities. The annual December 10 event gives children a chance to receive or choose a gift, while donated clothing supports a school Clothing Closet throughout the year. Your support helps carry Noah Martin Carthen’s legacy forward with something tangible: a gift, a warm piece of clothing, and the reminder that a child is remembered.
This work is rooted in the personal legacy of Noah Martin Carthen and delivered through annual gift events at selected elementary schools. Along with toys, Noah’s Give-A-Gift provides clothing and supports a school Clothing Closet available to children year-round.
