WHAT

Food & Supply Drive to aid victims of the historic flooding throughout Southeast Texas that has occurred as a result of Hurricane Harvey. 

A semi-trailer truck will be on-site to collect food and supplies identified by the Houston Food Bank as items of need. Items include: pop-top, ready-to-eat items such as vegetables and fruit; shelf-stable pantry items such as peanut butter, tuna, chili and soup; bottled water; hand-held snack items such as granola bars breakfast bars, etc.; cleaning supplies such as paper towels, mops, mop buckets, brooms, bleach wipes, bleach, garbage bags, etc.; new personal hygiene items such as toothbrushes and toothpaste; diapers, both baby and adult sizes. 

Volunteers will sort, pack, and palletize items as strategically as possible in coordination with the Houston Food Bank warehouse to mitigate work for the Houston volunteers. At the end of the day’s event, Alexander’s Mobility Services and The Dingman Group will fill whatever room remains on the truck with more food and supplies and dispatch the semi directly to the Houston Food Bank.
