Texans and Kroger Give Away 1,000 Thanksgiving Meals

The Houston Texans and Kroger distributed 1,000 Thanksgiving meal kits to local families at Reliant Park on November 10. The annual Turkey Time with the Texans event drew hundreds of people who lined up for holiday birds, accompaniments and desserts before the celebration.

Quarterback C.J. Stroud, receiver Nico Collins and Henry To’oto’o joined Texans staff in helping with the drive-through pickup. Volunteers and team mascot Toro also took part. Team representatives described the giveaway as an opportunity to support the community and connect with fans during the holiday season.

The meal distribution was part of a day of community visits for the team. Will Anderson Jr. went to Joint Reserve Base Ellington to meet members of the 147th Attack Wing, take photos and sign autographs. That evening, he appeared at the Academy Snow Day event at its Bunker Hill location, where he met fans and signed autographs.
