The annual Houston Restaurant Weeks (HRW) benefiting the Houston Food Bank takes place through September 7th. Restaurants offer specially priced dinners, lunches and brunches and donate a portion of each HRW meal sold to the Houston Food Bank. Diners should ask for the HRW special menus to participate in the event. Reservations may be required by some restaurants, and walk-ins may be accepted by others. Fort Bend restaurants participating in HRW include:
Cleverley Stone presented Brian Greene with a donation commitment of $1.6 million raised by HRW for the food bank in 2014.
• Aura Brasserie
• Churrascos
• Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille

HRW was established in 2003 by Houston area resident, broadcaster and volunteer philanthropist Cleverley Stone. Her first event donated about $5,000 to the food bank. In 2014, HRW made a donation commitment to the food bank of $1.6 million.
HRW is produced by volunteers and is now the largest annual fundraiser for America’s largest food bank. To date, HRW has raised almost $6 million for the Houston Food Bank and has provided almost 18 million meals for Houston residents who are food insecure, meaning that they do not know where their next meal will come from.
