CHAMBER HOLIDAY FOOD & SUPPLY DRIVE IS A HUGE SUCCESS!
WITH THE HELP OF COMMUNITY, WE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
November 21st was nothing short of amazing as the community came TOGETHER to support the Chamber Holiday Food & Supply Drive and help homeless LGBTQ+ youth. The Drive was the biggest yet! We not only met, but exceeded, our expectations!
Here is what impact looks like!
Because of our generous sponsors and donors, we made a HUGE impact, raising over $25,000 in food, supplies, and funds to support homeless LGBTQ+ youth.
MAKE A LASTING IMPACT
Last year, the Chamber Holiday Food & Supply Drive raised so many donations for Tony’s Place that they had to rework their budget! Let’s break that record again this year and show our support for unhoused LGBTQ+ youth.
Check out the video from Carrie Rai, Executive Director of Tony’s Place, to learn more about the impact of last year’s Drive.
This year we again ask for your help to support LGBTQ+ youth in need. Donations will also help fill the supplies and food needs at Tony’s Place, a resource center and community space focusing on LGBTQ+ youth who are in need of help with safe housing, queer health services, educational support, and more.
If your company, including small businesses, Employee/Business Resource Groups or nonprofits would like to collect food & supplies and coordinate a drop off on the day of the Drive, please email the Chamber at [email protected].

ABOUT TONY'S PLACE
Tony’s Place is a resource center and community space focusing on LGBTQ+ youth who are in need of help with safe housing, queer health services, educational support, and more. Tony’s Place opened in 2016 in memory of Robert Anthony “Tony” Carroll, a pillar of the Houston community and a tireless advocate for numerous LGBTQ+ causes. Tony and his husband Bruce were strong advocates for a drop-in center for young LGBTQ+ people. The organization focuses on providing five core services: Basic Needs; Case Management; Support Services; Community Engagement; and Advocacy.
Individual financial donations accepted through the Virtual Food & Supply Drive help support purchases of clothing, food, hygiene products and more to support LGBTQ+ youth in need.
