S&P Joins Kids’ Meals at Groundbreaking
Satterfield & Pontikes Construction (S&P) was proud to stand alongside our partners at Kids’ Meals Inc to break ground on the new Building Hope Campus. The two-story, 50,000 square-foot building includes a large office space, a welcome center, education and conference rooms, volunteer snack preparation, and 11,790 square-feet of warehouse with five-tier storage racks. With the front entrance shaped like a sack lunch, the facility, designed by Kirksey Architects, inspires childlike wonder.
Since 2006, Kids’ Meals has delivered over 13.5 million free, healthy meals directly to food-insecure children in 56 zip codes across Harris and Montgomery Counties. As first responders to children under 5 facing hunger due to extreme poverty, their mission is to end childhood hunger in Greater Houston by delivering meals and collaborating to provide resources that break the cycle of poverty.
“We’re pleased we can help Kids’ Meals fulfill their mission,” says George A. Pontikes Jr., S&P Chairman & CEO. “No child should go hungry.”
Kids’ Meals is unique in the nation, starting with two delivery vans and growing to a fleet of 21, connecting families to over 70 service partners. With over 80,000 preschool-aged children in Harris County living in food insecurity, their goal is to feed 26,000 children daily by 2031, aiming to make Houston the first city to end childhood hunger.
The new facility is expected to complete Summer 2025.
