One More Child’s Back-to-School Event Provides 800 Chick-fil-A Meals to Houston Community
Houston-area families receive backpacks, school supplies and meals through community partnership
HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One More Child recently hosted a back-to-school event, providing hope and help to Houston families as they prepare to return to the classroom. As part of the event, 800 meals were served to children and families—thanks to the generosity of Chick-fil-A and Bubba and Cindy Cathy. Their gift fed every guest and reached additional children and families in need throughout the community.
Each child also received a brand-new backpack loaded with essential school supplies and other items to prepare them for the year ahead. The two-day event was held at One More Child’s Houston Family Resource Center and the Missionary Village housing complex in Houston.
"By providing these items, we're investing in children throughout our community while supporting families who might otherwise struggle to afford back-to-school expenses,” said Stephen Robert, president and CEO at One More Child. "We’re incredibly grateful to the Cathy family and Chick-fil-A, along with our other amazing partners who helped us serve so many families in need.”
In Houston, 31 percent of children live in low-income households, and 36 percent of children live in a single-parent home.
“Things have been difficult lately, especially with my husband losing his job,” said a mom who brought her two children to the event. “But we’re thankful and grateful.”
One More Child works directly with at-risk families throughout the Houston area, providing comprehensive support services that extend well beyond material assistance. The organization offers parenting workshops, mentorship, career guidance and life skills training designed to help families build long-term stability and self-sufficiency. Additionally, One More Child addresses immediate needs by providing nutritious food and clothing to low-income families.
