Brown Convention Center. Recognized as the nation\u2019s largest single-day feeding program, Super Feast serves more than 25,000 families each year with the help of over 6,000 volunteers.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 kDvXdO font_openSans articleList\">\n<li class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 ecGWWE iQviKm\"\/><\/ul>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">This year, the need is unprecedented. Widespread job losses and recent cuts to the SNAP program have left tens of thousands of families in Houston facing severe food insecurity. The organization is expecting double the usual number of attendees, creating extraordinary demand on food supplies and volunteer support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Officials say they are critically short on frozen turkeys and non-perishable food items, which are essential to feeding families this Thanksgiving. To address the situation, the City Wide Club held a press conference this morning at 9 a.m. at the George R. Brown Convention Center.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 kDvXdO font_openSans articleList\">\n<li class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 ecGWWE iQviKm\"\/><\/ul>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 nALdY copyright\">Copyright 2025 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p>About the AuthorHolly Galvan Posey headshot<a class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__LinkBase-sc-1fnzlkn-9 eUojqd gMnWPT\" href=\"https:\/\/www.click2houston.com\/team\/2J32PDWT6X5BWU2SVME0EEE7B9\/\" title=\"View Holly Galvan Posey&#039;s full profile\" itemprop=\"url\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holly Galvan Posey<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 gnunoy bOlrXa\">Holly joined the KPRC 2 digital team in March 2024, leveraging her eight years of expertise in blogging and digital content to share her passion for Houston.
