How To Make An Impact
Nothing feeds the soul more than giving back to the city you love. Here's your Thanksgiving Day volunteer guide. It's never too late to help!
Meals On Wheels
For more than 50 years, Interfaith Ministries coordinates meal deliveries to the city's homebound elderly through its Meals on Wheels program. More than 4,200 Houstonians depend on the Meals on Wheels service for food every day. The holiday season can be a difficult time for some, you can help out by signing up to bring meals to area residents, along with a little cheer and some much-appreciated company. Meal pick-up begins mid-morning, and most volunteers have completed their assignment by early afternoon. Click here for more information.
Other ways to help:
City Wide Club of America
The SUPER FEAST is held annually on Thanksgiving & Christmas Eve Day at the George R. Brown Convention Center, where thousands are served with not only traditional hot nutritious meals but also clothing, household items, shoes, blankets, coats, jackets, flu shots, medical examinations, food baskets, haircuts, new toys, vehicles, and more.
