On Sunday, Feb. 28, Aldine ISD, the district’s Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department, the Houston Food Bank, and Board Vice-President Dr. Kimberley Booker teamed up to provide food and water to thousands of Aldine residents during a Drive-Thru Food Drive held at AISD’s M.O. Campbell Educational Center.
A volunteer delivers food to an Aldine resident during a Drive-Thru Food Drive, sponsored by the Houston Food Bank, Aldine ISD, and Board Vice-President Dr. Kimberley Booker’s nonprofit organization on Sunday, Feb. 28, at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center.
Aldine residents received a case of water, one box of vegetables, one box of canned goods, and one box of fruit.
The food-drive provided 4,009 residents with food to help their families who were still dealing with the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri and families who are continuing to bear the impact of COVID-19.
A total of 120 volunteers assisted with delivering supplies to Aldine residents.
Dr. Martha Escalante, Executive Director of FACE, said she appreciated all of the volunteers who provided a service to others during the event.
“Aldine ISD made history by providing food to over 4,000 families,” Dr. Escalante said. “This would not have been possible without the hard work and enthusiasm of all of our volunteers. Once again, the Aldine family stepped up to help our community that has been affected by the pandemic and, most recently, the winter storm. Thank you for joining us today on a very productive and rewarding Sunday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
