Mission: Leading the fight against hunger. From our 308,000 sq. ft. warehouse, our fleet of trucks delivers food to most of our hunger relief agencies, while the rest come to us to pick up. We serve: Church and community food pantries; Soup kitchens; Shelters for the homeless and abused; Meal sites for children and the elderly. Thanks to strong community partnerships, the Houston Food Bank stretches every $1 donation to provide a full day of meals for children, adults or seniors.
