The Cleverley Stone Foundation has announced that the sister event to Houston Restaurant Weeks, Eat Drink HTX, raised $57, 249 to benefit the Houston Food Bank and DePelchin Children’s Center. The 2-week long event only in its third year is gaining momentum with 182 restaurants in 2024 compared to 136 in 2023.“Eat Drink HTX helps generate income for participating restaurants during a historically slower time of the year,” said Katie Stone, President of the Cleverley Stone Foundation. “Houstonians enjoy 'Dining Out and Doing Good' and we are excited to continue growing this event which benefits the restaurants, our charity partners and the diners.”The 2-week-long dining event, Eat Drink HTX, was developed for the casual dining category, with a lower price point set for prix fixe brunch, lunch, and dinner menus, allowing more casual and fast-casual eateries the opportunity to participate.The event is Founder Cleverley Stone’s second pillar for fundraising in partnership with area restaurants. She had long recognized the need to boost sales in restaurants during historically slow periods for area restaurants; specifically, weeks in February, after Valentine’s Day and early spring.“I am proud to have partnered with DePelchin Children’s Center on Eat Drink HTX for 2024,” said Stone. “Since 1892 they have been a beacon of hope and love for children and the community. As a mother myself, I know how their programs and services have added to the quality of life for so many children and families.”
We are grateful for the support of Eat Drink HTX, along with our co beneficiary, DePelchin Children’s Center,” said Brian Greene, President & CEO of the Houston Food Bank. “The impact of inflation has hit lower-income, working families particularly hard. Funds raised from this event will help bring food to the table and improve the wellbeing of the families that we serve.”
