| Ron Stone, beloved friend |
With deep sympathy the Houston Food Bank offers its condolences to the Stone family. Ron Stone was a dear friend to the Food Bank. Employees and Board Members fondly remember what he did for Houston and its people.
The Houston Food Bank first got to know Ron when he was an anchor with KPRC and worked so hard on our behalf to make the food drives a success. When he established Stonefilms of Texas, Ron, his wife, Pat, daughter, Julie, and son, Billy, helped us in countless ways for many years. Through Stonefilms, the family produced PSAs, and directed and produced video presentations. Ron also served as emcee for numerous events; he was always ready to help.
He had a warm and generous spirit, with a genuine interest in helping people in need. We are most grateful for Ron Stone and his family’s support to our mission.

Farm Bill Update, calling makes a difference
The House and Senate Conference Report on the Farm Bill, which contains $10.361 billion in investments in the nutrition title, is expected to go up for votes on May 14th in the House and then in the Senate. Nearly three quarters of the total spending in the Farm Bill goes to the nutrition title so it is critical to get a strong vote in favor of the Farm Bill Conference Report when it goes for voting on May 14th.
