“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy The unwavering dedication of our military service members has ensured our safety in times of crises. Thanks to the Bob Woodruff Foundation and Craig Newmark Philanthropies, we’re proud members of the #GotYour6 Network, providing emergency assistance to service members, veterans, their families, and caregivers affected by #HurricaneBeryl. 🤝 Learn more about how you can give to your neighbors affected by Hurricane Beryl: https://lnkd.in/g3PdHWjQ

Every disaster box has a story. 📦❤️ When #HurricaneBeryl traveled through Houston, it left over 2.5 million people without power. Families were faced with unpredicted challenges and lost their food. In the wake of this devastation, our community came together to support families hit by the storm. Today, we are deeply thankful to ConocoPhillips for their $100,000 donation. This generous contribution allows us to add more to our disaster boxes and reach more families affected by the hurricane. 🍽️ Thank you, ConocoPhillips, for helping us continue our disaster relief efforts. Together, we are ensuring that those impacted by the storm have the resources they need to recover. 💚 Looking to help?

A proud moment our community 💚 The annual International Deli Dairy and Bakery Association (IDDBA) Food Show – the largest industry show for the deli, dairy, bakery, and food service trades – was held in Houston and had over 850 companies attend. To reduce waste, Houston Food Bank worked with the event organizers, GES, and a group of 70 volunteers to conduct a massive food rescue. Thanks to our teams and partner food banks – East Texas Food Bank, Southeast Texas Food Bank, and Montgomery County Food Bank – we saved 103,397 pounds of food, equivalent to 86,164 meals! A huge THANK YOU to IDDBA , George R. Brown Convention Center, and Houston First Corporation for ensuring these perishable foods reached our neighbors across Southeast Texas.
