Around 1 million people in the 18 southeast Texas counties served by Houston Food Bank are considered food insecure, meaning they lack consistent access to enough nutritious food to fuel a healthy life. In order to address this issue, the Houston Food Bank distributes food and other essentials to those in need through a network of more than 1,600 community partners. In addition, we also provide programs and services aimed at helping families achieve long-term stability including nutrition education, health management, and help in securing state-funded assistance.
“The people we serve are forced to adjust their food budgets to accommodate other expenses. It turns out, hunger doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We aren’t just fighting a meal gap; we’re fighting an income gap.” Brian Greene, President and CEO, Houston Food Bank
