As Hurricane Laura bore down on the Gulf Coast last week, staff members at the Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash knew that people in Southeast Texas were going to be in need. Although the storm missed Houston, communities along the Texas-Louisiana border like Orange, Lake Charles and others weren’t so fortunate.
Within hours of the hurricane’s landfall Wednesday night, staff finalized plans to host a food drive to aid victims of the storm, and by Saturday morning, everything was in place. The first cars began to arrive at BBVA Stadium shortly after 9am, filled with cans and boxes of food, bottles of water and other supplies.
