Montgomery County Food Bank is proud to announce its annual Fighting Hunger, Feeding Hope Gala, set for Saturday, February 8, 2025, at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel. Huntsman Corporation serves as the Presenting Sponsor, providing essential support to help the Food Bank in its mission to unite the community to fight hunger. As the Food Bank's signature fundraising event, the gala offers the community a vital opportunity to support local families, children, and seniors facing hunger. Every dollar raised provides up to four meals for those in need in Montgomery County.
This year’s gala, titled A Ruby Celebration: 40 Years of Feeding Hope, draws inspiration from the ruby—a symbol of 40th anniversaries—to celebrate Montgomery County Food Bank’s remarkable four-decade journey. Founded by Betty Hardy in 1985, when she served neighbors in need from the trunk of her car, the Food Bank has grown to support more than 90,000 client contacts each month. This milestone event will also highlight the recent expansion project, including the new Produce Rescue Center, which allows the Food Bank to provide an additional one million meals annually. Guests are invited to dress in formal attire for an unforgettable evening kicking off gala season, featuring a silent and live auction with exciting packages, a 'Support a Need' segment to fund crucial programs, and special recognition of community partners whose dedication has been vital in the fight against hunger.
