As of 6 a.m. Tuesday, several cars were seen already in line for a food distribution at NRG Stadium. The gates weren't set to open until 7 a.m. and the distribution was set to start at 9 a.m. One woman, who also happens to be the first in line, said she's been there since 2:20 a.m.

The woman asked to be kept anonymous, but she did tell ABC13 that she's there because she has four kids, a mother and a brother to feed.

Since the winter storm last week, she said she's lost a lot but she's thankful for her neighbors.

"We've got neighbors, and we help each other," she said.
