ABOUT THE HOUSTON FOOD BANK
The Houston Food Bank is the largest source of
free and low-cost food for hungry people in 18 southeast
Texas counties. A network of 400 charities, feeding a total of 80,000 people
each week, receives more than
36 million pounds of food and prepared meals annually. Fresh produce, meat and
nonperishables are distributed
from Herzstein Center, a 73,000 square-foot warehouse, and hot meals are
prepared and distributed from Keegan
Center, a 15,000 square-foot industrial kitchen. Additional community services
range from nutrition education to
assistance with food stamp applications and hands-on job training. Red Barrels
offer a convenient way for grocery
shoppers to donate nonperishables for their neighbors in need. The Houston Food
Bank, founded in 1982, is a
certified member of Feeding America, the nation’s food bank network. The
organization plans to grow to an annual
distribution of 120 million pounds of food by 2018.
