And here's why...throughout the month, which is Hunger Action Month by the way, several local watering holes are hosting Happy Hours for Hunger.
Now this is what I call a win/ win for everyone. That's because while you are relaxing with your friends and enjoying the benefits that come with happy hour, you'll be raising money for the Houston Food Bank.

I know you all want to drink... um, I mean, donate...for a good cause, so I've included a few of the Happy Hours for Hunger spots with this blog:
