The annual event, which began in 2003, raises more money for the Houston Food Bank than any other fundraiser and, to date, has raised $17.6 million for the food bank.
Houston media personality Cleverley Stone founded Houston Restaurant Weeks as part of her life’s mission to beat hunger in Houston. “Dine Out & Do Good” was her mantra and her efforts spurred an annual increase in restaurant revenues and contributions to The Houston Food Bank. Stone died in 2020, following a battle with cancer. Her daughter Katie Stone now spearheads the event and founded The Cleverley Stone Foundation in her honor.
“The past couple of years have been extremely difficult for the restaurant industry, impacted by the pandemic, supply chain, labor issues, and the rising cost of food and packaging,” Katie Stone, president of the Cleverley Stone Foundation said in a news release. “Surely the most difficult time for restaurants, employees, and the Houston Food Bank. We are hopeful that demand for dining and a return to normalcy will have Houstonians dining out and doing good this summer.”
Houston Restaurant Weeks also announced that Houston-based construction firm Tellepsen -- a longtime supporter of the Houston Food Bank -- is one of the event’s new sponsors.
