Houston Astros and Chick-fil-A Launch Sweet Campaign to Combat Hunger Across the City

Houston, TX – April 2025 — Spring in Houston is officially in full swing—bringing sunshine, baseball fever, and a community-powered campaign that’s turning cookies into compassion. This April, the Astros Foundation and Chick-fil-A Houston have teamed up for a heartwarming initiative focused on feeding Houston families in need, one Chocolate Chunk Cookie at a time.

A Cookie That Counts

From April 1 through April 30, every purchase of Chick-fil-A's fan-favorite Chocolate Chunk Cookies—whether it's a single cookie, a shareable six-pack, or a catering tray—will directly support local hunger relief programs. A portion of the proceeds from these cookie sales will be donated to Houston-area charities that are actively fighting food insecurity.

🍪 What You Need to Know:

• Every cookie purchase helps fund meals for local families in need.

• Donations will benefit community-based organizations and food banks in the Houston area.

• Available at over 120 Chick-fil-A locations across Greater Houston.

Bases Loaded = Full Plates

But the hunger-fighting action doesn’t stop at the dessert counter. There’s a game-day twist designed to amplify the impact. As part of the “Bases Loaded” program at Daikin Park (home of the Houston Astros):

• Every time the Astros load the bases during a home game, Chick-fil-A donates 1,000 meals to local food pantries.

• The Astros Foundation matches that donation, doubling the impact to 2,000 meals every time the bases are full.

• This program has been running since 2020 and has already delivered over 3 million meals to Houstonians facing food insecurity.

More Than Just Baseball and Biscuits

While the Bases Loaded initiative is a home run for hunger relief, it’s just one part of the Astros Foundation’s broader mission. Their community outreach spans several critical areas, including:

• Support for military families and veterans

• Youth sports and education programs

• Homelessness prevention

• Domestic violence awareness and support

• Childhood cancer research and family support

This partnership with Chick-fil-A highlights a shared commitment to giving back to the city, creating meaningful change far beyond the stadium walls.

Why It Matters

Houston, like many urban areas, continues to face challenges related to hunger and poverty. According to local advocacy groups, over 1 in 5 children in Houston experiences food insecurity. Campaigns like this one don’t just raise money—they raise awareness and inspire action.

❤️ Community at the Core

Chick-fil-A, long known for its customer-first approach and community involvement, is no stranger to meaningful outreach. From scholarship programs to disaster response efforts, and now through this cookie-driven campaign, they consistently show up for Houstonians in powerful ways.

How You Can Get Involved

• Buy a Cookie (or several): Every purchase this April supports the cause.

• Attend a Game: Cheer for the Astros and root for those bases to get loaded—each one means thousands of meals for local families.

• Spread the Word: Share this initiative with friends, family, and coworkers to multiply the impact.

Whether you're a baseball fan, a cookie lover, or someone who cares about your community, this partnership offers a simple but meaningful way to make a difference. It’s proof that small gestures—like buying a treat—can add up to big change.

This April, let’s step up to the plate and turn cookies into kindness. Because in Houston, every bite counts.
