In February 2012, Newhouse + Noblin’s Dallas and Houston offices teamed up to support their respective cities’ food banks. Both teams of volunteers had a fun and rewarding day of sorting and packaging donated food for immediate delivery. The Houston Food Bank distributed nearly 70 million pounds of food items last year, feeding over 865,000 different people. Click here to learn more about how you can volunteer in Houston. The North Texas Food Bank likewise is a leading national member of the Feeding America Food Banks, providing access to nearly 90,000 nutritious meals each day.

Green Beans & Guacamole Cookbook Project
The Green Beans & Guacamole cookbook project stems from the love for people like Austin Hanson, who have intellectual disabilities. When Austin wanted to throw his mother a surprise birthday party, he ordered the flowers and balloons, purchased the cake, and decided the on menu. As you can imagine, it was a wonderful affair and everyone enjoyed the menu, which consisted of green beans and guacamole! The GB&G coffee-table style cookbook will feature recipes from Houston’s top restaurants (think Phillipe, Tony’s and Mark’s) with proceeds benefiting the ARC, an organization advocating for people with intellectual and other disabilities. Beth Walker from our Houston office has been active in the project. A recent event at one of Houston’s new hot spots, Sorell, raised over $10,000 for the project. For more information on the projects (and pre-orders) visit Green Beans and Guacamole.
