Jalen Pitre, Kids’ Meals launch third annual ‘Feed 5 Even More’ campaign: ‘Inspire the future’

HOUSTON – For Texans nickel Jalen Pitre, Kids Meals Inc. is an extremely special place and organization.

The Stafford graduate and his Pitreboyz Foundation and Kids Meals are teaming up for the third year for the ‘Feed 5 Even More’ campaign with a goal of delivering 55,555 meals to food-insecure children in the greater Houston area.

Pitre, Kids’ Meals Inc., Group 1 Automotive and the Pitreboyz Foundation are partnering to help raise awareness about childhood hunger.

With donations starting at just $10, enough to feed five children, the mission is to tackle food insecurity andfeed kids’ minds, bodies, and futures through sports, nutrition, and education.

“I’m grateful for the opportunities the Houston Texans have given me, and I believe in giving back to the city that shaped me,” Pitre said. “Feed 5 Even More is about rallying the community to support local Houston children, and this year is especially meaningful because it also supports my foundation’s mission to uplift and inspire the future of our city.”

Pitre will personally donate $250 for every turnover and $100 for every sack the Texans defense creates throughout the 2025 season, turning big plays into big impact for Houston kids. He has three interceptions this season.

“Food insecurity is one of the most urgent challenges facing our city,” said Beth Harp, CEO of Kids’ Meals. “Houston now has the highest poverty rate among the nation’s largest cities, with 21.2% of residents living below the federal poverty line. That includes thousands of children who rely on programs like ours. With the generous support of Group 1 Automotive and the Pitreboyz Foundation, we’re proud to tackle this crisis head-on.”

Together, Pitre and Group 1 Automotive will lead a crowd-sourced fundraising effort to support both Kids’ Meals and the Pitreboyz Foundation. Every donation helps provide nutritious meals to preschool-aged children and funding for youth sports and mentorship programs.

“We are honored to once again be a part of this campaign,” said Pete DeLongchamps, Senior Vice President at Group 1 Automotive. “We’re proud to stand alongside Jalen and two incredible organizations that will undoubtedly make a lasting impact on the city of Houston.”

The Texans and TDECU recently announced a Red Zone partnership. Every time the Texans enter the TDECU Red Zone, $300 will be donated to Kids’ Meals, which provides 150 meals.

This year, Kids’ Meals will deliver more than 3.4 million free, healthy meals to the homes of food-insecure children who face hunger due to extreme poverty. Kids’ Meals is the only program of its kind in the nation delivering more than 10,000 free, healthy meals every weekday to 56 Houston-area zip codes. Pitre, the Texans’ 2024 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee, is a devoted advocate for Kids’ Meals.
