HOUSTON - The Houston Police Department is holding its 34th Annual Comida/Food Drive to help feed families in need during the holiday season.

Since December 1985, when several HPD officers responded to a call for service and saw a family in need, the Department has worked with its partners, Fiesta Mart and Pepsi, to distribute food boxes to Houston’s underprivileged families.

HPD’s Comida/Food Drive has grown to become one of the largest food drives in the city. During that first year, approximately 600 families received a box of non-perishable food to feed a family of four. Last year, the drive provided 4,000 families with a box of food for the holidays.

If you would like to contribute, collection days will be held on December 5-6 from 11:45 am till 8:30 p.m. and December 7-8 from 8:45 a.m. till 5:30 p.m. at the following Fiesta stores.
