So how do we make that happen? Because a few of us quietly **eat the cost of everything else.** The trucks, the boxes, the printing, the storage, the website — all of that is covered by a handful of dedicated volunteers and sponsors who believe in keeping your donations pure and powerful. ### **Two Easy Ways to Give** 1. **Venmo:** 💙 @htxbasket — quick, secure, and every cent goes toward food. 2. **Online via Website:** 🌐 [htxbasketbrigade.com/donate](https://www.htxbasketbrigade.com/donate) — credit or debit accepted. Whether you give $10 or $100, you’re not funding overhead — you’re filling a basket, feeding a family, and fueling hope. It takes a community to make Thanksgiving happen for hundreds of Houston families. **Your generosity makes it real.** ## Related posts [![](https://www.htxbasketbrigade.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tony-video.png?height=200&name=tony-video.png)](https://www.htxbasketbrigade.com/htxbasketbrigade/the-power-of-generosity-how-tony-robbins-story-inspires-htx-basket-brigades-mission) ## [The Power of Generosity: How Tony Robbins’ Story Inspires HTX Basket Brigade’s Mission](https://www.htxbasketbrigade.com/htxbasketbrigade/the-power-of-generosity-how-tony-robbins-story-inspires-htx-basket-brigades-mission) ![Picture of HTXBasketBrigade](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/13ec2f9f48d96a5f45c23d48bd22111b) [HTXBasketBrigade](https://www.htxbasketbrigade.com/htxbasketbrigade/author/htxbasketbrigade) Nov 5, 2024, 6:30:00 AM Tony Robbins’ Thanksgiving Story: A Life-Changing Act of Kindness Tony Robbins recalls being 11...
