Usually, the City Wide Club's annual Super Feast includes a sit-down meal, but that wasn't possible this Christmas Eve. Still, about 25,000 Houstonians in need walked up or drove through to take advantage of the huge distribution event.
Mayor Sylvester Turner and U.S. Rep. Al Green joined volunteers in giving away meals, toys, and face masks at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

30,000 meals given away to those in need today at 42nd annual Super Feast

Here is what you need to know if you're looking to pick up a free Thanksgiving meal.
ABC13's TJ Parker spoke to some of the people who had been waiting in line for hours.
"He's been in and out of work all year. It's been tough," one woman said. "So this is going to help us have a little more food, a little more resources, and get us through the New Year."
"I have two part-time jobs, and it's just kind of hard to pay bills. I'm grateful for Houston and the resources here," another woman in line said. "The food I got at Thanksgiving, I was able to share that with other friends that are having a hard time too."

50 Cent & G-Unity Foundation Make Surprise Hefty Donation For Houston Christmas Super Feast

Houston, TX – 50 Cent made a surprise appearance in Houston last week to aid the city in its Christmas Eve Super Feast.
Organized by the nonprofit City Wide Club, the food and toy giveaway needed the public’s assistance in getting enough food and toys for 25,000 people. Enter 50 and his G-Unity Foundation.
The mogul donated about $850,000 worth of toys to the event, looking to help the nonprofit reach a set goal of 100,000 toys to donate.
“You make more, you give more back,” 50 said at a press conference on December 17. “They already have the foundation in this community built, so I was able to just make the collaboration, so you know it’s real as soon as you get in there.”
