Thank you, Houston Texans!
What you might not know is that this is just the latest occurrence in a long-standing partnership between the Houston Food Bank and the Houston Texans. If you’ve had a chance to visit our Portwall warehouse since we opened in 2011, you’ve probably stopped by the Houston Texans Cafe at some point since it is a favorite spot for volunteers and building visitors. The cafe offers snacks and complimentary beverages as well as a comfortable location during volunteer breaks. Depending on when you were here, you might have also encountered Texans players, Cheerleaders, staff and fans working side by side at the Food Bank, packaging and sorting food, as they do several times a year.
The example the Texans set in caring and giving back to our community is very admirable. We are lucky to have them as community partners and have fun rooting them on…as we know you do too. GO TEXANS! |

Food Bank and the Houston campaign for Souper Bowl of Caring. It was truly an
honor to meet and talk with this remarkable young man and hear his story of
overcoming his childhood circumstances to fulfill his dream of getting to the
NFL. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have his representing the Food Bank this
year!
In just a few weeks, on November 3rd, the Food Bank will
again benefit from Taste of the Texans. Now in its fifth year, the event raises
more than $350,000 each year to be split between the Houston Food Bank, Houston Texans Foundation and Houston Methodist Hospital. Attendees will mix and mingle with Texans players,
Ambassadors and Cheerleaders while sampling treats from more than 25 of the
finest restaurants in Houston. For more information or to purchase tickets,
