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.

    🚛💙 As Floridians face the devastation of both Hurricane Helene and now Hurricane Milton, our hearts are with them. Here in Houston, we know recovery is a long road, and we’re committed to stepping up where help is needed. Our dedicated drivers—Leonel, Darren, and Jamarcus — have been tirelessly supporting Second Harvest Food Bank of the Big Bend. Additionally, drivers Elian and Ed have recently arrived in Florida, delivering much-needed supplies for Hurricane Milton relief. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible drivers for their selflessness and to all of YOU who make Houston Food Bank a community that always goes the extra mile for our neighbors. #HurricaneRelief #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #HoustonStrong #FloridaStrong #HurricaneMilton #HurricaneHelene
