Join us for our Enchanted Garden of Giving Gala event on April 11, 2025 at the Ballroom at Bayou Place! Guests will enjoy a lively cocktail hour, a delicious multi-course dinner, an engaging wine pull along with live and silent auctions, and the opportunity to dance the night away.
This event goes beyond entertainment; it’s a commitment to sustaining year-round operations that alleviate hunger and its root causes in northeast and east Houston. We extend you an invitation to play a crucial role in providing consistent access to fresh and nutritious food for hungry Houstonians. Your support is more than a donation; it serves as a lifeline for those grappling with the harsh reality of food insecurity. We hope you will join our mission and help us fight hunger, shape lives, and strengthen our community!
