2015 ULR Food Drive a Success!

The 2015 ULR Food Drive benefitting the Women’s Home has come to a close, and we are happy to say we have collected more items then ever before!! The response from the co-sponsors and the community was overwhelming. The agents of ULR spent Wednesday morning piling boxes of cans and other non-perishable goods into trucks for transport to Jan Cizik Garden Place, where we stocked not 1 pantry, but three pantries full to the brim with needed items. We doubled our collection efforts this year, bringing in over 4800 items!!

ULR

The Women’s Home has been helping Houston women get back on their feet for almost 60 years. The core of their program revolves around the “Whole Life Approach” focusing on Emotional/Mental Wellness, Physical wellness, Spiritual wellness, Social wellness, and Fiscal wellness for the women in the program. Many of the resident’s at Jane Cizik Gardens are on strict budgets and have a difficult time purchasing toiletries and groceries, so each of the items donated are much-needed and greatly appreciated!
