She and her family have become regular volunteers at The Heights Interfaith Ministries Food Bank, which serves their community as a member of the Houston Food Bank. With no power and no donations available from grocery stores or restaurants, they are in desperate need to replenish their shelves to continue to provide to families in need. We can help!
