Every year, one question comes up:  
**“How much of my donation actually goes toward feeding families?”**

At the HTX Basket Brigade, the answer is simple — **100%.**  
Every single dollar you give goes directly toward buying food for Thanksgiving baskets delivered to Houston-area families in need.

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.**
