How Does Houston Food Bank Respond to Disasters?

As a disaster relief organization, Houston Food Bank is ready to assist our neighbors experiencing the effects of an event from extreme cold to flooding and hurricanes. When any part of our 18 county service area is affected, we mobilize. Houston Food Bank’s Volunteer Services department leads volunteers in building dedicated disaster boxes that will be distributed throughout our partners in the affected area, and our warehouse and transportation departments work quickly to deliver these boxes along with necessary food and supplies to the community. With the assistance of local, state, and federal government agencies through our Government Relations department, Houston Food Bank is ready to provide resources and assistance to our neighbors and communities during a disaster and in the aftermath.
The work that Houston Food Bank accomplishes cannot be done without your help. You can make an impact during a disaster by donating your time, food, or funds to Houston Food Bank.

🍏Houston Food Bank’s mission is to provide #FoodforBetterLives. Last year we provided access to 150 million nutritious meals in 18 counties in southeast Texas through our 1,500 community partners which includes food pantries, soup kitchens, social service providers, and schools. We have a strong focus on healthy foods and fresh produce. In addition to distributing food, we provide services and connections to programs that address the root causes of hunger and are aimed at helping families achieve long-term stability, including nutrition education, health management, and help with securing state-funded assistance. We are a resource for individuals and families in times of hardship. We are a solution to food waste, working with grocery stores and growers to rescue food before it reaches landfills. In collaboration with our community, we advocate for policy change and promote dialogue on ways to increase access to food and to improve the lives of those we serve. Houston Food Bank works alongside our partner food banks in Montgomery County, Galveston Country, and Brazos Valley. Houston Food Bank is a certified member of Feeding America, the nation’s food bank network, with a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.
