Why We Still Do This

There are days when we honestly don’t want to do it anymore.
The hours are long, the lists are endless, and every time we think we’re caught up, something new falls on the pile. The truth is — this kind of work takes a lot out of you.

But we keep going because it still matters.
Because every basket means one less family wondering how they’ll feed their kids on Thanksgiving.
Because behind every “thank you,” there’s a little bit of relief, a little less worry, and a moment of real joy that someone cared enough to help.

That’s what keeps us here. Not the logistics. Not the photos. The impact.

So here’s the ask — if this means something to you, help us keep it going.
❤️ Donate $35 to @htxbasket on Venmo — that’s one full Thanksgiving basket for a family.
👍 Or, if you can’t give right now, just take a second to like or share one of our pages: Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

If three people reading this do that, we reach dozens more — and that’s how the chain of giving grows.

We’re tired, but we’re not done.
Because the need is still there, and the heart of this city is still bigger than the struggle.
