A Texas-Sized Feast: Thomas J. Henry Leads Statewide Holiday Food Drive

Thomas J. Henry’s statewide campaign combats food insecurity with record-breaking support for Texas families

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Injury attorney and philanthropist Thomas J. Henry is proud to announce the second annual Feast of Texas, an expanded statewide initiative designed to bring hope, nourishment, and holiday joy to families across Texas.

After the remarkable impact of the inaugural Feast of Texas in 2024, providing more than 3.5 million meals statewide, Thomas J. Henry is continuing the effort this year to ensure Texas families once again experience the comfort and dignity of a shared holiday meal. According to a recent study by the Sage Policy Group, Thomas J. Henry’s philanthropic initiatives have already generated more than $200 million in total economic impact, further underscoring his long-standing commitment to uplifting communities.

What is the Feast of Texas?
During the holiday season, many Texans face the very real challenge of putting a warm meal on the table. This year, that challenge has only deepened as the ongoing government shutdown temporarily halts SNAP benefits. Thomas J. Henry firmly believes that no Texan should go hungry, and through the Feast of Texas, he is turning that belief into action.

By collaborating with an array of trusted local food banks and community partners throughout Texas, the initiative will provide complete holiday meals (or equivalent meal-distributions) to families experiencing food insecurity.

“The holidays are a time for family and gratitude, but we know that for far too many Texans, the season can bring hardship rather than comfort,” said Thomas J. Henry. “With this second annual Feast of Texas, we’re renewing our commitment to ensuring that every family, whether in the big city or a remote rural county, has a reason to feel cared for and connected.”

Key Details
Scope: Statewide, across dozens of Texas counties including rural and urban communities previously underserved.

Partnerships: Working with food banks covering regions such as Austin/Central Texas, Corpus Christi/Coastal Bend, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.

Program Evolution: Previously, Thomas J. Henry’s Turkey Giveaway focused on the Coastal Bend region for over thirty years. With Feast of Texas, the model has grown to meet increased need and reach statewide.

Why does the Feast of Texas Matter?
The Feast of Texas is a vital initiative that bridges the gap between rural and urban communities in the fight against hunger. While many food relief efforts concentrate on major cities, the Feast of Texas deliberately extends its reach to rural counties, where access to resources and logistical support can be far more limited.

By partnering directly with food banks rather than relying solely on in-kind turkey giveaways, the initiative ensures a more efficient, flexible, and scalable distribution system that adapts to the unique needs of each community it serves.

This effort reflects Thomas J. Henry’s broader philanthropic philosophy: that true success is measured not only by personal achievement, but by the ability to uplift and strengthen communities. Through the Feast of Texas, that vision comes to life, delivering a meaningful and lasting impact for families across the state.
