December: Breaking Ground and Building Hope

As the year draws to a close, we’re thrilled to share another exciting update on our new building! In previous posts, we celebrated milestones like the parking lot being poured and the installation of windows and doors. Now, we’re excited to announce that drywall is going up—bringing us one step closer to completion.

It’s incredible to reflect on how far we’ve come since breaking ground in June of 2024. By this time next year, we’ll be settled into our new space, ready to make an even greater impact together.

In Harris County, over 80,000 children under the age of five don’t know where their next meal is coming from. This heartbreaking reality fuels our mission. Together, we are already feeding over 9,000 children every weekday and providing their families with essential resources to help break the cycle of poverty. Thanks to you, that number continues to grow every year.

The Kids’ Meals ExxonMobil Campus is more than just a space—it’s a promise. A promise that we will continue to rise to the challenge and ensure that more children receive the nutritious meals they need to thrive. It will allow us to expand our operations, reach more families, and provide even greater access to critical resources that support long-term change.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for making this dream possible. You are building hope and a future where every child has the chance to succeed!

 

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team – Kirksey Architecture, Pin Oak Interests, and Satterfield & Pontikes Construction Company. Their hard work and dedication are turning this dream into a reality, and we can’t wait to see the transformation continue. Stay tuned for more updates as we build towards a brighter future for the children in our community!
