Out to Eat for Education
For the last four years, GEF has encouraged the community to go out to eat on the day of the Ball High Homecoming Parade to promote school spirit and fill our local restaurants. In return, those restaurants contributed a percentage of their food sales to GEF. This year, due to the restaurant industry taking such a hard hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have chosen not to require donations from the restaurants in order to participate.Instead we will continue to support those businesses that have supported us and use this as an opportunity to spread the word about GEF! Our GISD teachers need additional resources now more than ever, as they navigate a completely new way of teaching our kids.

Randall's "Share Your Holidays" Food Drive
For the sixth consecutive year, Randalls will kick-off the annual “Share Your Holidays” Food Drive in Galveston County with their special, 2-week, in-store promotion from Sunday, September 27 through Saturday, October 10. Randalls is located at 2931 Central City Boulevard in Galveston.
This year is the 40th Annual ABC 13/KTRK “Share Your Holidays” Food Drive, of which Galveston has been an integral part in the success of this event since its inception. Shoppers can look forward to purchasing – for just $5.00 each - a virtual grocery bag filled with nutritious, non-perishable food items that include canned tuna, boxed spaghetti, canned green beans, canned corn, and a jar of peanut butter. All proceeds benefit the Galveston County Food Bank.
