Houston Mayor Pro Tem Adrian Garcia (in the bed of the truck) and Texas State Rep. Dr. Alma Allen got into the spirit of the relief effort and helped load the Dodge Ram pickups.

Working to make it easier to get much-needed food and supplies to Hurricane Ike victims near Houston, Texas, The Chrysler Foundation and Houston-area Dodge dealers put up their money and trucks.
