2024 ABC13 Share Your Holidays: More than one million meals donated and counting

Your spirit of generosity is being felt across southeast Texas after a big showing Tuesday morning at ABC13's Share Your Holidays Food Drive.

For the 44th year, we're collecting donations for Houston Food Bank at its most critical time of year, when too many people are experiencing hunger.

As of 10 a.m. Wednesday, more than a million meals have already been created from your donations and contributions from Houston Food Bank sponsors.

Every dollar you donate provides three meals for people in need.

"Share Your Holidays is something Channel 13 has done in the community for decades now," Houston Food Bank president and CEO Brian Greene said.

Every donation given through our food drive stays in our community, helping to stretch the resources Houston Food Bank is able to give to people in need.

"The supplemental food assistance that our pantries normally provide, that little extra makes a big difference for families," Greene said.

ABC13 hopes to exceed our 2013 record of 1,627,115 meals, with donations being accepted through New Year's Eve.
