HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- When Victor Glover moved to Houston with his growing family, he struggled to afford groceries.

"My wife wasn't working, and I was working with the city of Houston at the airport, the city didn't pay much," Glover said.

The family of eight turned to the Houston Food Bank for assistance.

"The kids didn't get new shoes or new toys, but we always had a good, hot meal," Glover said.

Years later Glover is now giving back to same organization who helped his family.



"For so long I was receiving, I was taking in, I kept taking in, now, you can take in so much, then you got to start giving back," Glover said. "It makes me feel grateful, it make me feel appreciative,"
