To support the Houston Food Bank in reaching their goal of providing five million hot meals for children in the Houston community by 2018, Shell is donating their custom built “Super Gyro” Synergy Truck, a product of the latest collaboration with the Shell #makethefuture campaign to the organization. The Synergy truck features several energy technologies which help to sustainably power the kitchen and the production of food from within the truck.
