Oak Meadows Hurricane Beryl food & essentials distribution by TPC Group, Invista, Port Houston and Valero!

TPC Group, Invista, Port Houston and Valero supported the Oak Meadows Community, the Company’s near neighbors in Houston’s east end, in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.

“Hurricane Beryl, one of our toughest time when we were all going through a test of patience and faith due to the enormous power outage ending after eight days,” said Michelle Garcia, Vice President, Oak Meadows Civic Club. The surrounding Company’s generosity ensured residents had cool, filtered water! Residents barbecued chicken and turned on flash lights to fill the night which seemed like a candle light picnic in the middle of one of the darkest nights in the east end. Neighbors came together and rallied to feed neighbors, deliver water, ice, gas gift cards close to 200 families!

TPC supported these efforts by delivering a pallet of water, HEB Gift Cards, bags of ice, flashlight batteries and work gloves.

Invista supported Walmart gift card to distribute bags of chicken.

Port Houston supported pallets of bagged ice and cases of water.

Valero donated 25- gas gift cards

Thank you Plant Neighbors!”
