HOUSTON RESTAURANT WEEKS EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 30th

Third Time Event Has Been Extended in 21 Year History with New Donation Amount $1 Per HRW Meal Sold

In only the third time in the event’s history, Houston Restaurant WeeksTM (HRW) will extend its run through September 30th. This historic precedent has only happened twice prior in 2017 due to Hurricane Harvey and in 2020 during the COVID Pandemic.

The action has been taken by the event’s organizer, The Cleverley Stone Foundation to help area restaurants recover from the financial hardships caused by the Derecho Storm and Hurricane Beryl. Both caused major disruption to the industry, causing millions in lost income due to closures, lost products, storm damage, loss of power, and other utilities.

The donation amount for the extended period will be $1.00 for every HRW Meal sold. Now through September 30th, diners will continue to enjoy specially priced, multi-course prix-fixe menus for brunch, lunch, and dinner participating restaurants will continue to offer HRW meals priced for dinner at $55 and $39; brunch and lunch at $25.

HRW is the largest annual fundraiser for America’s largest food bank, the Houston Food Bank.

“We decided to continue HRW this year due to the many requests we had from participating restaurants,” said Katie Stone, President of the Cleverley Stone Foundation.

“After discussions with owners, operators, and the Houston Food Bank the decision was made to keep HRW going until the end of September with a reduced donation amount. Providing a way for restaurants, staff and others that were impacted by financial distress after this summer to recoup. HRW has proven to be an annual traffic generator for the industry, and this seemed like a positive decision for those that have supported us for 21 years. Diners can show how much they stand behind the hospitality industry. It’s heartwarming seeing how our city comes together to Dine Out & Do Good every August and in extraordinary circumstances beyond,” added Stone.
