September Speaker
Beth Harp - Kids Meals
December 2019, Beth Harp, Executive Director of Kids' Meals, Inc. spoke passionately about her organization's mission to eliminate hunger for pre-school aged children in Houston. In January 2020, 25 of our members spent a morning packing lunches and some have continued to volunteer for Kids Meals over the following months. We are looking forward to hearing an update from Beth and how things have changed since the pandemic.
