Houston’s own Madd Hatta of Majic 102.1 recently brought attention to the incredible work of the Hoodies 4 Healing Foundation, a local organization dedicated to supporting the city’s underserved community. During an on-air interview, representatives Devon Bank and C.J. talked about the foundation’s powerful origin story and its unwavering commitment to feeding hundreds of people every week.

As Devon Bank shared, the mission began after Rosemary’s daughter underwent brain surgery. “She prayed to God and she told God, if you heal my daughter, I will serve your people,” Bank explained. “And that was over five years ago.
