HOUSTON – Hundreds of Houston families received much-needed food at a distribution drive at Gallery Furniture Tuesday.
“It will make a big impact. When we lost power, our refrigerator went out and all the food, everything, we had to throw in the trash,” said Laura Hernandez.
Volunteers loaded their cars with potatoes, carrots, cabbage and other foods.
Merari Alvarado waited more than four hours.
“I know I had to beat the crowd to be able to get something because I know everyone’s in need right now,” said Alvarado.
