\"Kroger
\n\u201cThere is an extremely large number of housebound seniors in our community who don\u2019t have access to the food and supplies they need,\u201d said Joe Kelley, President of Kroger Houston. \u201cWhile many people can make a weekly trip to the grocery store, this specific group of individuals cannot. We want to make sure that our seniors are taken care of by ensuring they are fed and their pantries are full. These are people\u2019s parents and grandparents \u2013 and they need our help. That\u2019s why we wanted to get involved in the senior drive alongside Mack and Mayor Turner. Together, we can make a bigger impact in fighting hunger in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers can donate non-perishable food at any Houston area Kroger store or at Gallery Furniture 6006 N. Freeway or Gallery Furniture Grand Parkway every day from 8 a.m. \u2013 10 p.m. Gallery Furniture is also accepting donations of cleaning supplies and toiletries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are living in an unprecedented time that is affecting various areas of our communities in different ways. Many Houstonians are asking \u2013 what can we do to help?\u201d said Mayor Sylvester Turner. \u201cThis is one easy way you can support those in need within our local community, whether it\u2019s through donating food and supplies or volunteering your time. We are Houston Strong, and helping is what we do best.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGallery Furniture would like to personally thank Kroger and the City of Houston for the incredible donations and continued support,\u201d said Mattress Mack. \u201cThousands have already benefited from the generosity of amazing Houstonians and we will continue to do our best to lead these efforts. Stay strong, stay safe, and remember the essence of living is giving!\u201d<\/p>\n
