Founded by Cleverley Stone in 2003. Largest annual fundraiser for @houstonfoodbank. $21+ million raised so far to fight hunger in Houston. THE ORGANIZATION COORDINATES HOUSTON RESTAURANT WEEKS (HRW), AN ANNUAL FUNDRAISER HAPPENING DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST. ITS PURPOSE IS TO RAISE MONEY FOR FOOD BANKS IN THE HOUSTON/SUGAR LAND METROPOLITAN AREA, AND IT IS THE LARGEST ANNUAL FUNDRAISER OF ANY KIND SUPPORTING SUCH. THE FUNDRAISER GIVES PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE AND SUPPORT HOUSTON'S RESTAURANTS WHILE PROVIDING MUCH-NEEDED RELIEF FOR FAMILIES SUFFERING FROM HUNGER. DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST, PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS WILL HAVE SPECIAL MENUS. A PORTION OF EACH SALE FROM THESE MENUS GOES TO THE HOUSTON FOOD BANK AND ITS AFFILIATES.
