Texas Health Huguley Helps Restock Local Food Pantries

BURLESON, TEX. – This summer, the Texas Health Huguley Hospital team rallied to support local families facing food insecurity. Through a hospital-wide food drive, team members donated more than 580 pounds of nonperishable items to Harvest House and Crowley House of Hope, two local nonprofit organizations serving neighbors in need across the region.

The timing couldn’t have been more critical. Crowley House of Hope pantry shelves were nearly empty just days before receiving the hospital’s donation. The food provided a much-needed restock to help them continue serving the community at a time when demand was especially high.

In addition to the generous contributions from individual team members, Texas Health Huguley’s community and dietary departments stepped up, delivering an additional 1,300 pounds of food to Crowley House of Hope. In total, nearly 2,000 pounds of food were donated to the two organizations.

Texas Health Huguley remains committed to supporting the well-being of its surrounding communities—not just through health care services, but through outreach efforts that address essential everyday needs.

“When we talk about whole-person care, it includes meeting physical, emotional and spiritual needs, not just within our hospital but across the communities we serve,” said Russ Weaver, vice president for mission, community and government advocacy for Texas Health Huguley Southwest Region. “This food drive is just one example of how our team at Texas Health Huguley comes together for a bigger purpose, for our community.”

The success of this food drive reflects the hospital’s mission—extending the healing ministry of Christ—well beyond the walls of its facility. By partnering with local organizations and coming together for a common cause, Texas Health Huguley continues to play an active role in building a healthier, more supported community.
