Mission: Leading the fight against hunger.
The Houston Food Bank is a solution to hunger in times of need. Nationally recognized as Feeding America's 2015 Food Bank of the Year, the Food Bank distributes 83 million nutritious meals through its network of 600 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other hunger relief charities in southeast Texas, feeding 800,000 individuals each year.
Fresh produce, meat and nonperishables are distributed from the warehouse at 535 Portwall, where nutritious hot meals are also prepared for kids in the new state-of-the-art Keegan Kitchen.
The Food Bank rescues food before it reaches the landfill through their Retail Pickup program with area grocery stores. Additional community services include nutrition education, school-based programs, SNAP (formerly food stamps) applications and hands-on job training. Red Barrels offer a convenient way for grocery shoppers to donate nonperishables for their neighbors in need.
The Houston Food Bank, founded in 1982, is a certified member of Feeding America, the nation's food bank network, with a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.
