What is Houston Restaurant Weeks?
Houston Restaurant Weeks is the largest annual fundraiser for America's largest food bank, the Houston Food Bank.
It's a five week dining extravaganza featuring specially priced lunches, brunches and dinners at restaurants from The Woodlands to Galveston, Texas.
HRW is planned by volunteers so that participating restaurants can donate 100% of the funds raised to the Houston Food Bank.
Participating restaurants make donations directly to the Houston Food Bank based upon how many brunches, lunches and dinners they sell during the event. Diners are not solicited for donations.
| MEAL PRICE | RESTAURANT DONATES TO FOOD BANK |
MEALS GENERATED BY FOOD BANK FROM DONATION |
|---|---|---|
| $22 2-3 COURSE BRUNCH | $3 DONATION FROM RESTAURANT | 9 Meals |
| $20 2-3 COURSE LUNCH | $3 DONATION FROM RESTAURANT | 9 Meals |

The event includes restaurants located in Harris, Galveston and Montgomery counties. One hundred percent of the donations raised from restaurants in these counties will go directly to their local area food banks. The Galveston County Food Bank and Montgomery County Food Bank are part of the Houston Food Bank's Partner Distribution Organizations (PDOs). The Houston Food Bank provides food to these smaller food banks, which in turn distribute the food to hunger relief charities in a portion of HFB's service area. The Houston Food Bank certifies that their PDOs meet Feeding America standards.
