The volunteers from Christ the King Church who work at the Houston Food Bank six times a year were selected as one of the eight outstanding volunteer groups at the Houston Food Bank. Our group has been volunteering with the Houston Food Bank since 1991, and in the last two years we have donated more than 1800 hours a year. The award was presented at the Gracious Giving Awards Dinner on April 17, 2007 at the Junior League of Houston.
