CISD feeds thousands of families in East Harris County
CROSBY – Crosby ISD is once again partnering with the Houston Food Bank to provide free drive-thru grocery distribution every Thursday for community members in need in East Harris County. During the Mobile School Market in the 2023-24 school year, more than 4000 families were provided with much-needed food. This year, we hope to help even more.
The Mobile School Market is a student-run distribution program, meaning Crosby High School and Crosby Middle School students register families, bag food, and place the groceries in vehicles. Crosby ISD Superintendent, Mrs. Paula Patterson, said, “The weekly mobile market allows our students a chance to serve their communities and exemplify one of the pillars of our Portrait of a Graduate. Being service-minded is a character trait we promote in our students from pre-K to the day our seniors walk across the graduation stage. We are so proud to offer this community service while showing the pride our students take in helping others.”
The free grocery distribution program will run most Thursdays, from 9am to noon, during the 2024-25 school year. Families are asked to line up on the visitors’ side of Cougar Stadium so they can be checked in before food is distributed. The Houston Food Bank does not share personal information with any third parties.
The first distribution is scheduled for September 19, 2024. You can find all the distribution dates for the 2024-25 school year he e: www.crosbyisd.org/mobilemarket
