Free Food Distribution

According to the Houston Health Department, 23.3% of the people in Houston/ Harris county do not have access to food. Almost 1 in 4 children are food insecure. Since COVID-19, food insecurity has jumped to 24.4%. We combat the situation by organizing a Free Food Distribution program twice every month. The program began to address the hunger insecurity in the Greater Houston Area and so far serves over 500 families every month. Free Food Distribution is initiated with complete support from Houston Food Bank. Vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat, and packaged foods are distributed to families in an attempt that they get healthy and balanced meals. Food is given regardless of race, citizenship, national origin, social or economic status. Our intent is that no individual should go hungry. This is one of our key community Service Programs in Houston.
