Ngenhloso yesikhathi eside yokusungula ibhange lokudla ezweni lonke, le nhlangano esencane yathuthela imisebenzi yayo ngoJuni 2004 endaweni enkulu. Ngenkathi isesesiqhingini, indawo entsha yavumela isikhala sokwamukela nokugcina inqwaba yokudla okusemathinini, okomile, okusha kanye nofriziwe, izinto zokuhlanzeka komuntu siqu, nezinto zokuhlanza ezinikelwe ngqo kusuka kubakhiqizi bokudla, izitolo ezidayisa ukudla kwasendaweni kanye nabantu ngabanye.

Isidingo sokudla saqala ukuchithekela ezwekazini, futhi kwabonakala ukuthi umbono wabasunguli wawuqhubeka njengoba izinsizakalo zanda ngokushesha imikhawulo yendawo yesiqhingi sayo.

Yize kubhubhisa imvelo kubantu kanye nempahla, ukululama kulesi siphepho kwanikeza inhlangano ukufinyelela kumadola kahulumeni enzelwe ukusiza izinhlangano ezisebenzela izakhamuzi ezilinyazwe ngqo yisiphepho. Lokhu kuvumele inhlangano ukuthi isuse ngo-2010 imisebenzi yayo yokugcina izimpahla isuka esiqhingini iye esikhungweni esikhudlwana, esimaphakathi eTexas City futhi yamukele igama elithi Galveston County Food Bank.
