Day 9 showed things slowing down as we ramp down to leave Houston this weekend. Yesterday, Thursday Sept 7th we did 33,350 hot bbq meals between the Houston area and Victoria greater area. Our 9-day total is 335,460 hot bbq meals to over 155 different churches, civic groups, organizations, and first responders. Some highlights since last update:
· 20,000 hot meals air lifted in to communities like Beaumont, Silsbee, Vidor etc. · Fox News broadcast live the Story with Martha McCallum on Wednesday there is just a little bit at the end from the broadcast. Fox News Link · 6 of 9 days over our previous daily feeding record set in Aug of 2016 of just over 31,000 meals · In 2016, we provided just over 313,000 meals in 13 days, we exceeded that number in 9 days by 22,000 down in TX · Approx. 100 volunteers from Farmers Insurance Austin Service Operations came and volunteered yesterday.
Meal stats Day 1 - 16,090 Day 2 - 23,625 Day 3 - 43,200 Day 4 - 43,350 Day 5 - 29,800 Day 6 - 45,760 Day 7 - 45,760 Day 8 - 55,575 Day 9 - 33,350 Total 335,460
Today Friday Sept 8th will be our last meal service in Houston. It will take us 2 days to clean up and move all the equipment and food product out to staging areas to be able to respond to Hurricane Irma. We are working with several local bbq teams to work and help support them in Silsbee and Vidor communities and a little longer in Victoria as well.
Statistics on what it took to put out 335,460 meals: ·143,349 pounds of raw pork ·16,733 #10 cans of vegetables ·11,182 full-size aluminum pans and lids (we sent 40% of the meals out in bulk containers that held 250-750 servings so did not use as many pans as normal)
