As the COVID-19 pandemic continues across Texas, residents endured an unprecedented weather-related event over the past week-and-a-half, with many losing power as well as water.
Even though electricity and water has been restored for most people, there are some who are still in need.
Enter the “Mission Buda Cares” campaign, led by the F7 Group, Texas Firewalkers and the Buda Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC), with added assistance through Operation BBQ Relief, CenTex Veteran’s Service Organization (VSO) and the City of Buda.
In support of all residents in Hays County, including first responders, hospital/medical workers, grocery employees and area business workers, who may need meals during this difficult time, lunch and dinner will be available. Beginning the evening of Thursday, Feb. 25, the organizations will serve dinner and then, beginning Friday, Feb. 26 through Sunday, Feb. 28, both lunch and dinner will be available.
“The BACC understands the hardships faced by the local business community within Buda – and beyond – but also the needs of area residents,” explains Cassaundra Melger-C’De Baca, CEO, F7 Group. “This campaign is designed for anyone needing assistance. It isn’t about a hand-out; it’s about helping our neighbors in need.”
“We are excited to partner with such wonderful organizations in a county-wide effort to provide meals to those in need,” says J.R. Gonzales, Executive Director, BACC. “Our recovery is going to take time and we want to be there to support our community in any way that we can.”
As part of the campaign, individuals and businesses are asked to login to order meals. For individuals in the community who would like to receive a meal (s), log on to //F7Group.com/Buda. Once ordered, you will be able to pick up your meal(s) at the Central Texas Veterans’ Center, 100 Houston Street, in Buda between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. (for lunch) and 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. (for dinner).
For any businesses/organizations who want to put in bulk orders (i.e. for 50+ meals), //F7Group.com/Buda is also the link to visit. Once confirmed, those orders can be picked up at City Park, 204 San Antonio Street in Buda, behind the Amphitheater, at the same time frames listed above.
