HOUSTON — Saturday's free food giveaway at NRG Stadium is set for Monday afternoon after it was postponed due to the threat of bad weather.
The giveaway will be from 2 to 7 p.m. in the yellow lot. There will be 8,500 free meal packages given way.
The event is sponsored by Houston ISD and the Houston Food Bank.
It’s the fifth such event held since the coronavirus pandemic began. So far, 2.5 million pounds of food have been given away to over 27,000 people and families at NRG Stadium.
If you plan on going to the event, enter through the yellow lot entrance off South Main Street. You’ll be asked to fill out a emergency food assistance form and then staff members will put a package of food in your trunk.
If you have to walk, officials ask that you follow social distancing guidelines of at least six feet between you and the next person.
HISD and the food bank are hosting more events at 25 HISD campuses next week.
Each site will have up to 500 bags to hand out per day, or about 15,000 pounds of food.
