Food distribution efforts led by the Houston Independent School District in partnership with the Houston Food Bank will continue this Saturday at NRG Stadium and throughout next week at 25 campus sites throughout the district.
The Saturday event at NRG is the third mass community food distribution. The site is expected to distribute 10,000 food packages — each weighing 80 to 100 pounds — in about five hours. To accommodate the increase, the site will open from 2 to 7 p.m.
Distribution will be held in the NRG yellow lot, and attendees must enter via the yellow lot main entrance off South Main Street.
In just the first two Saturday events, upwards of 1.3 million pounds of food was distributed.
Additionally, weekday food distribution will continue next week with another 25 sites open throughout the district. Each site can distribute up to 500 bags — or 15,000 pounds of food — per day.
As families arrive at sites, Nutrition Services staff will minimize contact by filling out the required Emergency Food Assistance Program forms for families and placing food in their trunks. Participants who walk to the sites also must adhere to social distancing requirements.
