Houston Food Bank feeds more than one million neighbors across 18 counties in southeast Texas. Every dollar you give helps put three nutritious meals on the table. You can help by donating money, giving your time as a volunteer, or speaking up for better food policy.
Houston Food Bank distributes millions of pounds of food through a network of more than 1,600 community partners. Beyond food boxes, the organization runs programs like Backpack Buddy (weekend food for students), nutrition education, health management support, and help applying for state food assistance such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
Pick the way that fits your life. A one-time or monthly cash gift goes straight to work — $1 covers three meals. If you'd rather give your time, the food bank welcomes individual volunteers and group shifts. And if you want to go further, you can advocate for food-friendly policies that strengthen the safety net for everyone in southeast Texas.

If you or someone you know needs food help, Houston Food Bank connects neighbors to its 1,600-plus partner network across 18 southeast Texas counties. Programs like Backpack Buddy, nutrition education, health management, and state assistance enrollment are all designed to help families build stability over time — not just get through today.
Hunger can hit anyone. A job loss, a medical bill, or rising grocery prices can quickly leave a hardworking family without enough food. Houston Food Bank works to close that gap — for children, adults, and seniors — and move families toward long-term stability, not just a short-term fix.
