Harris County Commissioners Court approved renewing their agreement with the Houston Food Bank to continue the Kids Cafe Program. This program provides free meals to children and teens in our community who need reliable access to nutritious food. The Houston Food Bank operates multiple Kids Cafe locations across Harris County, serving after-school meals, weekend food, and summer programming when school meals aren't available. These cafes work in neighborhoods where many families struggle to put healthy food on the table. The program serves children up to age 18 at community centers, schools, and partner locations throughout our county. Beyond just meals, Kids Cafes often provide homework help, educational activities, and safe spaces for young people after school hours. This county partnership helps expand the program's reach into underserved areas where transportation and food access create daily challenges for families. The renewed agreement means continued funding and support for this vital safety net. Harris County residents can find nearby Kids Cafe locations by contacting the Houston Food Bank directly. Families can also volunteer at local sites, and community organizations can apply to host new cafe locations in their neighborhoods.
This agreement determines whether Harris County continues providing funding and support for free meal sites for children up to age 18 at locations across the county, including after-school, weekend, and summer meals.
