Every Thanksgiving, the HTX Basket Brigade brings together volunteers, partners, and community members to provide full holiday meals to Houston families in need. This year, our goal is our most ambitious yet: to serve 1,000 families of four through the Houston Independent School District’s wraparound program.
We cannot achieve this mission without the support of corporate partners.
Right now, we are reaching out to food distributors and suppliers to secure in-kind donations of essential food items. Each basket includes enough to provide a full Thanksgiving meal — fresh produce, pantry staples, and festive sides — all delivered directly to families’ homes or trusted community partners.
We are asking for In-kind donations of any single item that can serve as a core part of the meal. By donating one product in bulk, distributors make it possible for us to stretch resources further and ensure consistency across all baskets.
If you represent a food distributor: we’d love to speak with you about donating staple food items.
If you have connections at companies that supply or distribute food, please share this opportunity with them.
If your business would like to get involved in another way — from sponsoring additional items to helping fund logistics — we’d be happy to discuss partnership options.
