RECAP FOR HRW 2011
The results are in for HRW 2011 - Our biggest fundraiser ever for the Houston Food Bank. A record-breaker.

The event, Houston Restaurant Weeks, has become the largest single annual fundraiser for the Houston Food Bank. Thank you for your support.

Houston Restaurant Weeks 2011 results were announced live on Houston's Fox 26 Morning News on Monday, September 19, 2011. 
You can watch the video here.




We raised $800,000 for the Houston Food Bank in August 2011.
The donations came from participating restaurants and major sponsors.
(Please see list of restaurants below and sponsor logos and links to the right.)

Volunteers donated their time and it all came together to fight hunger in Houston, Texas.

This donation will create 2.4 million meals for those who are 'food insecure' in Houston. Food insecure means that a person does not know where their next meal will come from, or if they will have food tomorrow. Source: Houston Food Bank.

Houston Restaurant Week was established in 2003. Now called Houston Restaurant Weeks, the event showcases and promotes Houston's incredible array of fine restaurants to the fine dining crowd while raising money for the Houston Food Bank. Your dining dollars make a difference!

Founded and chaired by Cleverley Stone, HRW is planned by volunteers so that 100% of funds raised are donated to the Houston Food Bank.

Format:
$35 Dinner - 3 Courses
(4 courses at some restaurants)
Restaurants donate $5 per dinner sold to the Houston Food Bank

$20 Lunch- 2 Courses (3 courses at some restaurants)
Restaurants donate $3 per lunch sold to the Houston Food Bank
(Not all restaurants offer a HRW lunch.)
