For thousands of nonprofits across the region, North Texas Giving Day isn't just another fundraiser — it's a lifeline.

The nation's largest single-day giving event supports a wide range of causes, from hunger relief and education to animal rescue and housing.

This year, more than 3,500 organizations have signed up, hoping to rally support from generous North Texans.

"Texas is over 300,000 affordable homes short. Here in the Metroplex, we're about 16,000 short of affordable homes," said Ashley Brundage, CEO of Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity.

With the rising cost of housing, many families are struggling to find stability.
