Every big movement starts small. For the HTX Basket Brigade, it began with just a handful of volunteers — people who showed up, packed food, lifted boxes, and believed that together we could make Thanksgiving a little brighter for Houston families in need.
That small circle of helpers has grown into something remarkable. Because of their hard work and dedication, we’re now operating at a level that brings in large-scale donations, pallets of food, and the kind of community partnerships we once only dreamed about. They built the foundation that made this year’s goal possible.
But here’s the truth — none of this works without you.
Every $35 Venmo donation (to @HTXBasket) turns into a complete Thanksgiving basket for a local family — packed, delivered, and shared with care. That single gift is the heartbeat of everything we do. It’s not about corporate sponsorships or massive checks; it’s about the hundreds of smaller contributions that keep the entire effort alive.
So if you’ve been meaning to give, this is your moment.
It takes just a few seconds to open Venmo and send $35 to @HTXBasket — but that simple act changes a family’s holiday.
We’re endlessly grateful to the incredible volunteers who got us here. Now, let’s show them that their work inspired a community ready to finish the job.
💛 Give today on Venmo: @HTXBasket — $35 feeds a family.
