Help the annual Super Feast bring holiday cheer to thousands of Houston families.
City Wide Club will distribute holiday meals and new, unwrapped toys to 30,000 families through its 43rd Annual Super Feast event held on Christmas Eve at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
For the massive distributions, the organization is seeking an additional 1,000 volunteers. Those interested in lending a helping hand can register here.
“Due to the heightened COVID threat, we find that we are running short of volunteers,” the organization said in a statement. “We are in need of an additional 1,000 volunteers to help us serve the more than 30,000 underprivileged families who will be served at Super Feast.”
Stephanie Lewis, the project director, said before the pandemic they had anywhere from 6,000 to 8,000 volunteers helping to cook and prepare for the crowds.
Brit Featherston and his family came from Beaumont to help out.
“We’re blessed for us to have food on our table every day,” he said. “We’re blessed to have friends and family that are just awesome and not everybody is that blessed.”
Featherston volunteered Thursday to debone turkeys and plans to return for Friday’s Super Feast.
“Being able to come over here, and give back, and maybe just in a little way contribute to others who don’t have that gold fortune, that’s why it’s important to us. It makes you feel really good,” he said.
