The Houston triad brought faith communities together to see who can raise the most food for the Houston Food Bank! Through a friendly competition in September, during National Hunger Awareness Month, faith centers competed against one another to collect non-perishable items for the Houston Food Bank. The event’s conclusion celebrated neighborly achievement at a unifying event in central Houston with participating congregations.
This multi-faith competition is a terrific opportunity to work together to benefit our city, develop a stronger sense of community, and motivate participants to reach across to their neighbors. Ultimately, by fostering stronger awareness of hunger in the Greater Houston area, using our faith as the vehicle, we hope to create a continuous reminder of the role we must all play together.
