Thank You for Making Target Hunger’s 2026 Garden Gala a Success
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for Target Hunger’s Annual Garden Gala on Friday, April 10, at the Ballroom at Bayou Place. Thanks to your support, the evening was an extraordinary celebration of community, compassion, and impact. Because of our generous sponsors, supporters, and guests, we are able to continue advancing our mission of alleviating hunger and its root causes across northeast and east Houston. Your presence and contributions help sustain year-round operations that provide critical resources to individuals and families in need.
One of the most meaningful moments of the evening was celebrating our new and expanded office site and education buildings, milestones that will allow us to serve even more neighbors and deepen our impact in the community.
The night was filled with joy and connection, from a vibrant cocktail hour and multi-course dinner to engaging experiences including the wine pull, live and silent auctions, and an unforgettable evening of celebration on the dance floor. Most importantly, it was a reminder of what we can accomplish together.
To our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and attendees, thank you. Your commitment makes this work possible, and we are truly grateful to have you as part of the Target Hunger community.
