HOUSTON - PennZone -- Los Defensores, a nationwide brand dedicated to serving the Hispanic community by connecting consumers to experienced attorneys after an accident, recently hosted a check presentation ceremony at Xochi Restaurant in Downtown Houston. The ceremony granted $40,000 to the Houston Food Bank and BakerRipley as part of Los Defensores' "Siempre Contigo" (Always With You) community initiative launch. These philanthropic funds put Houston's underserved populations first by addressing critical needs like food insecurity, social equity, and economic opportunity.
