HOUSTON — Reliant is a true champion for youth in Houston. Reliant supports numerous programs throughout the summer and during the school year that support children to help reach their full potential. Reliant and the Astros Foundation joined together for the Slide Into Summer Reading program to improve student literacy. More than 2,000 students read over 5,600 books, logging a total of 205,000 reading minutes. They wrapped up the program with a celebration at an Astros game where Reliant invited the top 1,000 Reliant Readers out to the ballpark. The top five readers were treated to batting practice, where they were able meet some of their favorite Astros, and the top reader even got to yell the official "play ball!"
Reliant is also helping young Houstonians prepare for back-to-school and find success in the classroom by donating school supply kits throughout the state.
Reliant is joining KHOU for a 13th year to support the Backpack Buddy Program. Many children rely on school meals during the week but go home to little or no meals over the weekends. As Your Education Station, KHOU 11 has partnered with the Houston Food Bank's Backpack Buddy program to fill that weekend food gap. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to provide weekend meals for over 15,000 Houston-area students. To donate right now, click here. At KHOU, we want to make your generosity go even further. We will be matching donations up to $11,000. Thank you for helping us Stand For Houston!
