The event includes Harris, Galveston and Montgomery County restaurants. One hundred percent of the donations raised from restaurants in these counties will go directly to their local area food banks. The Galveston County Food Bank and Montgomery County Food Bank are part of the Houston Food Bank’s Partner Distribution Organizations (PDOs). The Houston Food Bank provides food to these smaller food banks, which in turn distribute the food to hunger relief charities in a portion of HFB’s service area. The Houston Food Bank certifies that their PDOs meet Feeding America standards.

Houston Restaurant Weeks was established in 2003 by Cleverley Stone, host of “The Cleverley Show,” a food talk radio program on CBS Sports Radio 650/KIKK-AM in Houston, Texas and food segment contributor to Houston’s Fox 26 Morning News for the past eight and one half years. To date, HRW has raised over $7.6 million to fight hunger in Houston, and has provided almost 23 million meals to neighbors in need through the Houston Food Bank. The HRW team of volunteers donate their time and resources to produce the event so that 100% of the donations raised go directly to the Houston Food Bank.
