About Pantry Roof Repair Program

Following Hurricane Harvey, the majority of the Houston was under water. The Dao Feng & Angela Foundation (formerly known as Daofeng & Angela Foundation) immediately looked for ways to help the residents in the best way possible, and upon reading the stories about the Turning Point Center, Mr. and Mrs. He reached out to them. The He’s decided to sponsor the repair of the food pantry roof, which was damaged from the storm and heavy rain during the massive hurricane. The food pantry is an essential part for the residents at Turning Point Center as it stores all the foods to supply 3 essential meals for approximately 140 elderly residents. The food supplies are primarily dependent on donations collected from local restaurants and individuals.

Within approximately two weeks, the Turning Point Center received a check from the Dao Feng & Angela Foundation for the pantry roof repair, and on November 17, 2017, the roof repair and all associated work were finally completed. At last, the residents at the Turning Point Center are no longer concerned about the food storage.
