Montgomery County Food Bank’s 2025 Fighting Hunger, Feeding Hope Gala, will take place Saturday, February 8 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center. This year’s gala, titled A Ruby Celebration: 40 Years of Feeding Hope, draws inspiration from the ruby—a symbol of 40th anniversaries—to celebrate the Food Bank’s remarkable four-decade journey. Presented by Huntsman Corporation, the premier fundraising event’s proceeds will benefit the Food Bank and the many children, families and seniors it serves. With the Food Bank’s strong buying and sourcing power, every $1 raised will provide up to 4 meals for those in need in Montgomery County.
