Get food assistance near you

When families in our area need food, Houston Food Bank connects them to help at more than 1,500 locations across Harris County. These partner pantries, food closets, and distribution sites serve 18 counties throughout the region.

Most pantry locations stay open several days each week. Many offer fresh produce, meat, dairy products, and shelf-stable groceries. No appointment is needed at most sites. People don't need to bring documentation or prove anything to receive food.

The food bank operates on the belief that everyone deserves access to food with dignity. Partner sites include churches, community centers, schools, and nonprofit organizations. Each location sets its own hours and decides what food to distribute based on what they receive.

To find the nearest food pantry, call 2-1-1. The phone service connects callers to local resources and can provide addresses, hours, and directions to the closest distribution sites. Some locations may have specific days for certain neighborhoods or may focus on particular types of food assistance.

People can visit multiple locations if needed. The network exists to make sure families have consistent access to groceries throughout Harris County and surrounding areas.
