Other efforts included a food fair at Mamie George Community Center in Richmond as well as the NAMIWalk Your Way United Day of Hope at various locations around Houston to raise mental health awareness. The purpose behind the Gandhi Day of Service is to âencourage the Fort Bend County residents to take actionâ by volunteering their time, donating to a cause or hosting a food drive, according to a news release from the county.
