What is "a Pounding"?

The phrase “a pounding” dates back to the 16th century, when church communities would bring a pound of essentials (flour, sugar, butter, or other staples) to help a family in need.

Today, our Pound of Love drive carries on that tradition by collecting items that will directly support the children and families served by Generation One, a Houston nonprofit dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty through early childhood education, family support, and community transformation.

Together, let’s share a Pound of Love and make this Thanksgiving season brighter for Houston families through our community partnership at Generation One.
