Sysco Donates Food and Water for Hurricane Beryl Relief

Originally published on July 13th on LinkedIn

In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, Sysco has stepped up to support our community in Houston. Today, we delivered food and water to the West Gray and Southwest Multi-Service Centers, which are serving as cooling centers for those affected by the storm. Our donation included over 23,000 bottles of water, 8,000 bags of chips, 10,000 pieces of fruit, and 6,000 servings of juice to help those in need.

We are honored to work alongside city leaders, including Mayor John Whitmire, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher, and Council Member Abbie Kamin, to provide relief during this challenging time.

Sysco Houston also made donations to several disaster relief organizations, helping to feed those working to restore power to our hometown. They also donated four pallets of disposable products to Mercy Chefs and are continuing to donate excess perishable foods and supplies to the Houston Food Bank.

Thank you to our team and partners for making this possible. At Sysco, our purpose is connecting the world to share food and care for one another. Together, we are #HoustonStrong.
