On November 21, PGC Creative will team with Z’Tejas, the U.S. Army, Atmos Energy, Union State Bank and several other companies to feed approximately 2,000 soldiers and their families at Fort Hood.
Two years ago, PGC approached Z’Tejas with the idea of feeding soldiers from Fort Hood Army Base at the Z’Tejas Avery Ranch location.
Over the years, the event has grown and this year, the invitation was sent to feed the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) on Fort Hood. At the request of the Army, soldiers and their families will receive a signature Z’Tejas meal. The 4th CAB returned home from Iraq in May and will be redeployed in the near future.
Planning for the event began in July, with more than 100 people involved in the processes, donating thousands of man-hours to this worthy cause. PGC has led the coordination, marketing and public relations for this event.
PGC is also setting up a “Hello Mom” webcasting center, sponsored by Atmos Energy. Soldiers and their families will be able to send holiday greetings to their loved ones via a webcast.
In light of recent events at Fort Hood the Z’Tejas’ takes on additional meaning—helping soldiers and their families return to “normal” Army lives. This will be the first significant public event since that tragic Thursday afternoon.
It also gives them a chance to give thanks for their loved ones, and remember those lost during the year. Every event, every gathering, every outreach—helps with the healing process.
PGC extends a heartfelt thanks to all the U.S. Service members protecting and defending us, and to their families and loved ones serving along side them.
