Our Day at the Houston Food Bank

As a company with roots right here in Houston, TX, we strive to support the local communities that have  helped make our business a success. Recently, Bel Furniture was pleased to spend a Saturday volunteering at the Houston Food Bank, a wonderful organization that serves 18 southeast Texas counties. Each week, their mission is to feed at least 137,000 people. As our General Manager, Coleman Callahan, stated in a recent press release, "The Houston Food Bank is an organization that is very dear to our hearts" and we are always honored to help them reach their goal.

Many of the families in Houston, including loyal Bel customers, struggle to survive on incomes that are below the Federal poverty level. The majority of these hardworking families have young children and find it difficult to make ends meet. As a father, the President of Bel Furniture, Sid Mollai, was more than happy to help unload and store frozen food and organize care packages with members of his family and employee team. To show his gratitude and support for Houston families, he regularly contributes to charitable organizations like Pathway of Del Rio and the San Antonio Food Bank.

As the fastest growing furniture retailer in Texas, Bel Furniture can make a real difference in the lives of its community members. Their day of volunteering at the Houston Food Bank followed their sponsorship of the 2013 International Festival of Fort Bend, an additional volunteer day with the San Antonio Food Bank and a successful "12 Days of BELieving" during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons of last year.
