Filling pantries. Filling lives.
About us
Houston Food Bank’s mission is to provide food for better lives. Each year, Hh provides access to more than 150 million meals and in FY 2021, a year of COVID response, we made 207 million meals possible in 18 counties in southeast Texas through our 1,600 community partners of food pantries, soup kitchens, social service providers and schools. Filling gaps on plates, we have a strong focus on healthy foods and fresh produce. In collaboration with our community, we advocate for policy change and racial equity, and promote dialogue on ways to increase access to food and to improve the lives of those in our communities, including services and connections to programs that address the root causes of hunger and are aimed at helping families achieve long-term stability: nutrition education, health management, and help with securing state-funded assistance. We are a resource for individuals and families in times of hardship. Houston Food Bank works alongside our partner food banks in Montgomery County, Galveston Country, and Brazos Valley. Houston Food Bank is a certified member of Feeding America, the nation’s food bank network, with a four-star rating from Charity Navigator. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

💚 Neighbor Story 💚 As a breast cancer survivor, Delilah understands the importance of maintaining a balanced diet. After a visit to her healthcare clinic, she received a Food Rx, which she now redeems at our Food for Change Markets. This allows her to select fresh fruits 🍎, vegetables 🥦, and other nutritious items—all at no cost to her. "I rely on good food and balanced meals, especially fresh fruits and vegetables," Delilah shares. "This is what the Houston Food Bank provides for me, and I’m so grateful." 🙏 With her Food Rx, Delilah can access nutritious foods that help her thrive. "I only have Social Security, so this really supplements my income," she explains. "Seniors need all the help they can get, believe me! If we didn’t have this food, I don’t know what we’d do. It means everything to me." ✨ Read Delilah’s inspiring food journey here: bit.ly/4gZpqJS
