While Raising Millions of Dollars for Texans in Need, AOC Volunteered at the Houston Food Bank | Eater Houston

"Described as the largest food bank in the nation, the Houston Food Bank served as an essential lifeline after the massive winter storm that left 1.4 million Houstonians without power and put Harris County under a days-long boil-water notice; volunteers—including Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Sylvia Garcia—worked there packing disaster boxes, and the organization has been vital to the city following years of environmental disasters such as Hurricane Harvey and the economic insecurity brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. It was also named as one of five Texas organizations designated to receive proceeds from a fundraising campaign that raised at least $5 million to support recovery efforts." - Amy McCarthy
