  • Houston Foodbank

    Your time is a gift to hungry kids, seniors and others who may not have enough to eat. Volunteers produce the equivalent of a meal a minute while helping the Houston Food Bank sort, process and pack food. And it's fun! You can volunteer in our big Portwall warehouse, or help prepare meals for kids at our Keegan Kitchen. Both are located just minutes from downtown Houston.
