Houston Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Association give a million pounds of fruits and veggies to the Houston Food Bank
GLORIOUS FOOD At a December 5 ceremony at Minute Maid Park, the Houston Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Association presented the Houston Food Bank with its annual Gift of Produce, 1 million pounds of fruits and vegetables. Four hundred member agencies serving 18 southeast Texas counties benefited from the year-end contribution.
Since its inception 21 years ago, the Gift of Produce presented by the professional association of produce suppliers has yielded nearly 17 million pounds of food.
