CHAMBER HOLIDAY FOOD & SUPPLY DRIVE

GIVE WITH PRIDE: MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR LGBTQ+ YOUTH THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
Thursday, November 21, 2024 
Two Locations - AM & PM!

This holiday season, let's come together to support our community! On Thursday, November 21, the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber Foundation is hosting its annual Holiday Food & Supply Drive to benefit Tony's Place—a vital resource for LGBTQ+ homeless youth and one of our nonprofit members. 

Now in its fifth year, the Holiday Food & Supply Drive began in response to the pandemic, and we’re ready to make an even bigger impact this year. Can we count on your help?

AM

Join us for the 3rd Thursday Breakfast from 8:00 - 10:00 am at Cadillac Bar, 1802 Shepherd, and drop off food and supplies to support Tony's Place.

PM

The afternoon Drive will be hosted from 4:00 - 7:00 pm again this year by Chamber Member, Eureka Heights Brewing Co., located at 941 West 18th Street.  Stick around for Drag Bingo which starts at 7 pm. 

Once again this year, Eureka Heights Brew Co is offering anyone that drops off a donation of food or supplies during the November 21st event, a coupon good for $1 off their first beer that night.

MAKE A LASTING IMPACT

Last year, the Chamber Holiday Food & Supply Drive raised so many donations for Tony’s Place that they had to rework their budget! Let’s break that record again this year and show our support for unhoused LGBTQ+ youth.

Check out the video from Carrie Rai, Executive Director of Tony’s Place, to learn more about the impact of last year’s Drive.

This year we again ask for your help to support LGBTQ+ youth in need. Donations will also help fill the supplies and food needs at Tony’s Place, a resource center and community space focusing on LGBTQ+ youth who are in need of help with safe housing, queer health services, educational support, and more.

If your company, including small businesses, Employee/Business Resource Groups or nonprofits would like to collect food & supplies and coordinate a drop off on the day of the Drive, please email the Chamber at info@houstonlgbtchamber.com.
