Officials with The Cleverley Stone Foundation, who produce the popular yearly event called Houston Restaurant Weeks, announced June 5 that last year's fundraising event generated over $1.6 million for the Houston Food Bank.
The local impact
Houston Restaurant Weeks is an annual foodie fundraising event across the Greater Houston area that hundreds of restaurants participate in every year. Restaurants that sign up serve specially priced, multi-course prix fixe menus for brunch, lunch or dinner, with a portion of proceeds going toward the Houston Food Bank.
The 2025 event, which was held from August to September, raised $1,651,698.
“As more families across Texas are struggling to put food on the table, the continued support from Houston Restaurant Weeks, Houston restaurants and diners provides both nourishment and hope for children, families and senior citizens experiencing food insecurity across Houston Food Bank’s 18-county service area,” said Brian Greene, president/CEO of the Houston Food Bank.
According to the HRW website, every $1 donated equals three meals generated by the Houston Food Bank.
