In an effort to bring hope, nourishment, and holiday cheer to families across Texas, injury attorney and philanthropist Thomas J. Henry has announced the second annual Feast of Texas, an expanded statewide initiative following the success of the inaugural program in 2024, which provided more than 3.5 million meals. The program partners with local food banks and community organizations to deliver complete holiday meals to families experiencing food insecurity, with special attention to both urban and rural communities. This year, the initiative addresses heightened need caused by the ongoing government shutdown, which temporarily halts SNAP benefits for many households.

The Feast of Texas continues the evolution of Thomas J. Henry’s philanthropic efforts, which began with more than 30 years of Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaways in the Coastal Bend region. Now statewide, the program collaborates with food banks in Central Texas, Corpus Christi/Coastal Bend, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio to provide nutritious meals and holiday staples to families in need. The initiative reflects Thomas J. Henry’s broader commitment to uplifting communities, bridging gaps between rural and urban areas, and ensuring Texans can experience the comfort and dignity of a shared holiday meal.

This year’s statewide allocations include a $125,000 donation to the Central Texas Food Bank to serve 12,000 families, $150,000 to the Coastal Bend Food Bank to provide meals for 6,300 families, $125,000 to the North Texas Food Bank to deliver 375,000 meals, and support for the Houston Food Bank to distribute 300,000 nutritious meals. In San Antonio, a $250,000 gift will provide 500,000 pounds of fresh produce to 20,000 families. Collectively, these efforts ensure millions of Texans will receive nourishing meals during the holiday season.

The Feast of Texas prioritizes rural counties, where food relief resources are often limited, by partnering directly with local food banks to create a flexible, scalable, and efficient distribution system. By extending beyond metropolitan areas, the program provides critical access to nutritious meals, reinforcing Thomas J. Henry’s philosophy that success is measured not only by personal achievement but by the ability to strengthen and uplift communities.

Thomas J. Henry’s philanthropic initiatives have already generated more than $200 million in economic impact across Texas. The Feast of Texas exemplifies his firm commitment to addressing food insecurity and supporting families statewide during the holidays. The program aligns with the broader mission of Thomas J. Henry Law, PLLC, a leading personal injury firm recognized for legal excellence and community engagement since 1993.

Texas is home to approximately 1.7 million Veterans and millions of families who face food insecurity each year. Programs like Feast of Texas provide critical support to ensure that all Texans, regardless of location or circumstance, can enjoy a nourishing holiday meal.
