The Hard Rock has a Soft Spot
On Thanksgiving Day, Houston’s Hard Rock Café will continue a tradition that has spanned 19 years. Although the famous theme restaurant will be closed to the public, the staff, management, friends and families donate their time to cook and serve turkey and all the fixings to homeless Houstonians. DISH-Houston.com is proud to be a sponsor this year. DISH Publisher Lori Freese,
I've been blessed enough to have had the opportunity to participate in this wonderful tradition for the past 5 or so years so it was only natural to become a sponsor. The Star of Hope is an amazing organization. The folks who are in residence there work very hard to change their lives for the better. To get to serve them in this way that helps them to feel special during a time when feeling special isn't a daily experience is just an honor.
About 250 residents of Star of Hope’s Transitional Living Center and the downtown Women and Family Emergency Shelter will be treated to the meal along with a visit from Santa – complete with gifts. Around half of the 250 attending will be children.
Hard Rock Café General Manager Alfred Cardenas loves this time of the year:
“Our motto is Love All, Serve All – I can’t think of a better way to express that philosophy than by helping homeless families during the holidays.”
