Avalanche Food Group (AFG), owners of 11 Twin Peaks restaurants and Houston’s first Bread Zeppelin restaurant, is launching its 2nd Annual Back-to-School Giveback for Houston teachers this month!
Throughout the month of July, Avalanche Food Group’s Bread Zeppelin location and five Houston Area Twin Peaks restaurants will be raising funds to provide teachers across Houston, and beyond, with grants to purchase the classroom necessities they need heading back into the school year!
Last year, AFG awarded over $35,000 in grants to Houston and Houston Area teachers as part of this back-to-school fundraising effort to help support teachers who often pay out-of-pocket for supplies and necessities for children in their classrooms.
Now through July 31, customers at each participating Twin Peaks and Bread Zeppelin location will have the option to “Round Up” their bill to help teachers ensure their students have the classroom tools they need to succeed this school year.
“We know that teachers pay for items themselves to make sure their students have what they need to learn,” said Ricky Rosa, COO of Avalanche Food Group. “This initiative is something everyone really embraced last year, because teachers give so much to our children and so often get overlooked in all the back-to-school drives. These supply grants are a way our AFG family, and the Houston community, can show teachers how much they are appreciated and at the same time ease the burden of their out-of-pocket classroom expenses to help give our kids every opportunity to succeed.”
Each AFG Twin Peaks and Bread Zeppelin location hopes to raise at least $5,000 throughout the month of July to provide $30,000 of grant support to Houston teachers!
The community can join the effort to help support teachers by dining, and rounding up their bill at AFG’s participating Twin Peaks locations including:
- Twin Peaks – Houston 290; 12830 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77040
- Twin Peaks – Houston (Kirby); 4527 Lomitas St., Houston, TX 77098
- Twin Peaks – Houston (Kirkwood); 11335 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77079
Additionally, Bread Zeppelin, located at 3235 Southwest Fwy in Houston, will offer customers the option to “Round Up” for teachers and will offer teachers a FREE Combo (drink and bag of chips) with the purchase of a salad or Zeppelin, in-store only, through July 31, 2025!
Avalanche Food Group encourages all Houston Area teachers-in-need to apply to receive a grant on the AFG website at www.avalanchefoodgroup.com. Grants will be awarded to local teachers at a special celebration in early August.
Founded in 2009 by brothers John, Joe, and Ricky Rosa, Avalanche Food Group owns nine Twin Peaks restaurant locations in Texas, two in Indiana, and one Bread Zeppelin location in Houston. The Rosa brothers, who were just named as Twin Peaks 2025 Franchisee of the Year, are deeply committed to community service and hold a special place in their hearts for educators, first responders, veterans and active military members and their families.
In addition to last year’s $35,000+ in teacher grants, the company has contributed approximately $500,000 to community and military causes and has given away over 5,000 Christmas trees to veterans, military families, teachers, first responders, and families-in-need since the launch of their Annual Christmas Tree Giveaway in 2013.
