During this time, customers can purchase a pre-packaged food bag to donate or make a cash donation at one of more than 200 participating H-E-B, Kroger and Randalls grocery stores. In addition, more than 200 local churches and more than 150 area schools will conduct food and donation drives.
New this year . . . Scouts from the Sam Houston Area Council will come door-to-door to pick up food donations as part of the Souper Bowl of Caring benefiting the Houston Food Bank. If you live in Scout district, you will receive more information about this pick-up program at your home on January 30. We are pleased to work with Boy Scouts of America to make donating even easier!
Proceeds will benefit the Houston Food Bank, which serves nearly 400 hunger relief agencies in 18 southeast Texas counties.
