The Cheesecake Cafe has been happening for 16 years, this is the sixth year it has taken place at the Houston Christian School. 175 tickets were sold at $2 a piece, and a donation box was at the front door, approximately $350 was raised. Food was donated by locals for the food bank, and all proceeds go towards Houston Community Services and Love by the Bowl Soup Kitchen.
