Thousands flock to food, water giveaways across Houston area Tags: Some waited for hours to make sure they would get some food and water. Hundreds lined up at this mass water giveaway at Missouri City Hall Complex. The line stretched down Texas Parkway and down Scanlin Road. Not too far away, 4,000 meals, 2,000 liters of bottled water and 1,000 PPE kits were given away at the Friends of North Richmond and the Friends of North Rosenberg locations. The need for food and water still so great for many Houston area families. Now, more than ever, especially after last week’s storm. “And the storm hit, it hit Monday on us it woke us up from the cold. I’m thankful I said mama I’ll be back I’m going to get food for us she said okay, just blessed,” said Dianna Radka, of Richmond.
