HOUSTON, TX — Dr. Candice Matthews and Rosemary Tucker of Hoodies 4 Healing served meals to people experiencing homelessness in downtown Houston on Sunday, the second day of the Bless the Block Thanksgiving weekend.

Tucker said organizers wanted to include people experiencing homelessness in the weekend outreach. Sunday’s meal service followed a Saturday event at Cullen Park Apartments in southeast Houston, where families received turkey plates and desserts and Pinkhouse Houston gave away more than $10,000 in cash.

Tucker announced plans to sell shirts, hoodies and joggers through a Bless the Block collection featuring Dr. Matthews. She said proceeds would help provide hot meals and coffee and assist people with rent, utility bills and groceries.
Organizers said the next Bless the Block event is planned for Saturday, Nov. 21, at South Lake Villa on Houston’s east side.
