Big Feast serves thousands at GRB

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Thousands of Houstonians celebrated the holiday together Saturday at the 33rd annual Christmas Eve Big Feast.

The City Wide Club of America prepared warm meals for more than 30,000 people at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Families in need also picked up food baskets, clothes, blankets and toys for children.

Organizers had been concerned they wouldn't have enough volunteers or donations, but the group tells us it had plenty of help and the event was a success.

Volunteers needed for Christmas Eve feast

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- If you plan to stay in Houston instead of traveling, you could help out the City Wide Club with its annual Christmas Eve Big Feasts of Sharing.

The club needs volunteers to help prepare and serve food at the George R. Brown Convention Center. They are also hoping for more toy donations. The club gives toys to needy children at the event but says it could run out tomorrow.

This will be the 33rd annual Big Feast. Thousands of families attended the organization's Thanksgiving feast a month ago.
