Food distribution efforts led by the Houston Independent School District in partnership with the Houston Food Bank will continue Saturday at NRG Stadium and throughout next week at 25 campuses around the district.

This will be the fifth mass community food distribution, and staff are expected to distribute 8,500 food packages.

To date, nearly 2.5 million pounds of food have been distributed to more than 27,000 recipients during the Saturday events.

Additionally, weekday food distribution will continue next week with another 25 sites throughout the district.

Each site can distribute up to 500 bags — or 15,000 pounds of food — per day.
