The fund is managed by the Greater Houston Community Foundation and United Way of Greater Houston.

The Houston Food Bank, the largest in the nation, serves 18 counties in the Houston area and has been a critical lifeline to those struggling due to the pandemic. It served more than 104,000 households in January, and in February prepared and distributed meals to shelters and warming centers during the storm.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on our communities and now they are facing additional hardships from this most recent disaster,” said Houston Food Bank President and CEO Brian Greene. “This gift from Phillips 66 will provide access to 600,000 meals for people in need in our community. We thank them for their continued support to help us provide food for better lives.”
