Houston, Texas
In a significant initiative to aid flood relief efforts in Central Texas, Bun B has announced that all profits from his restaurant chain, Trill Burgers, will be donated to those affected by recent flooding in the region. This charitable effort is set to take place on Wednesday, with 100% of the profits going directly to support victims and communities impacted by the severe weather conditions.
The flooding in Central Texas has resulted in over 100 fatalities in the Kerr County area, with a further 161 individuals currently reported missing. This catastrophic event has prompted Texas Governor Greg Abbott and lawmakers to advocate for emergency disaster relief funding and legislation aimed at providing support for those severely affected. The state is mobilizing resources to ensure that every missing person is accounted for amidst the chaos.
Trill Burgers’ Commitment to Relief Efforts
Trill Burgers operates two locations in Texas—one on Shepherd Drive in Houston and the other on Louetta Road in Spring. Bun B, whose real name is Bernard James Freeman, emphasized that the donation is “a drop in the bucket” concerning the extensive rebuilding needs for the affected areas. Alongside his philanthropic efforts, Bun B remains actively involved in the daily operations of Trill Burgers, showcasing his commitment to the restaurant and the community.
The recent floods have had a devastating impact, including the tragedy at Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and counselors were swept away. Many of these individuals have yet to be fully accounted for, underscoring the urgent need for relief efforts. Residents and individuals wishing to contribute to the relief initiatives can find information and donation options on the official State of Texas website.

In addition to his philanthropic commitments, Bun B is exploring potential expansion opportunities for Trill Burgers. This year, the company is scheduled to open three new locations and aims to extend its reach into stadiums and airports. Bun B has a vision of authentically representing Houston’s diverse culture through his culinary ventures while remaining engaged with the community.

An advocate for local sports teams, including the Texans, Rockets, Astros, and University of Houston Cougars, he aims to enhance the fan experience through hospitable service at events.
Expanding Community Engagement
Furthermore, Bun B is open to potential partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to foster engagement in Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, creating opportunities that support student-athletes. His commitment to community and culture is evident in all aspects of his work, both within and outside the kitchen.
In conclusion, the vital efforts by Trill Burgers to support flood relief in Central Texas highlight the importance of community in times of crisis.
