MEAT: THE PRESS
Nearly 140 people working in Houston’s food and
beverage industry and affected by Hurricane Harvey
have received relief funding from the Southern Smoke
Foundation.
The nonprofit, which partnered with Legacy Community
Health to administer the distribution of funds, donated
$501,000 for Harvey relief. Funds were raised via its sig-
nature event (Houston’s largest food and wine festival) on
October 22 and ancillary events held by industry friends
here in Houston and across the country. Workers, business
owners and suppliers in the Houston food and beverage
community who suffered losses during the storm – from
lost wages to ruined homes – were encouraged to apply
for relief grants. Of the 161 applications submitted, 139
were deemed eligible and received checks ranging from
$1,000 to $9,000.
