HOUSTON -- One day after his FEEDHOU campaign reached its goal of raising $1 million for the Houston Food Bank, Astros third baseman Alex Bregman and his fiancée, Reagan Howard, were back in the community Saturday morning to help pass out food to those in need.

Bregman teamed with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a non-profit organization offering basic-needs assistance to the community, to hand out food and supplies for children to 500 families in need in conjunction with the Houston Food Bank. Each box handed out includes five meals -- one breakfast and four lunches -- for children.

“We’re hoping to hand out as much food as possible provided by the Houston Food Bank and our campaign and we’re looking forward to doing that,” Bregman said.

Bregman launched FEEDHOU on April 10 with hopes of raising $1 million. Bregman donated $100,000 to the cause, along with Houston entrepreneur Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale and the Astros Foundation also chipping in $100,000. Astros teammate Justin Verlander donated his first weekly paycheck to the Food Bank as well. The campaign reached its goal Friday, and Bregman is aiming to raise more.

“The community here rallied together and it’s amazing to see people helping people here in Houston,” Bregman said. “It’s one of the reasons this city is so amazing. ... We want to give back and try and help out people as much as we can during this tough time. This adversity has brought out the character of the city, and as you can see, people love to help people.”

Donations can be made by typing “FEEDHOU” in a text message to the number 4144 or by visiting the FEEDHOU Alex’s Army donation page online at https://bit.ly/2y1eB96.

After Bregman's initial donation of 28,000 meals to the Houston Food Bank, pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and his wife, Kara McCullers, followed Bregman with a donation of their own to the Houston Food Bank, funding 10,000 meals.

Here’s how other Astros are helping during the coronavirus pandemic in recent days:

• Shortstop Carlos Correa created a partnership with NACC Disaster Services to deliver 2,500 meals per day to the homeless, the elderly and public employees throughout Houston during the crisis.

• All-Star second baseman José Altuve and his wife, Nina Altuve, announced a partnership with the Astros Foundation to provide 60,000 meals to Kids Meals Inc. to support children in need during the coronavirus crisis.

• Verlander joined 49 other Major League players to raise nearly $1 million, providing over four million meals to support childhood hunger prevention in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
