WHAT: Volunteers are essential to Houston Food Bank’s operations and are needed now more than ever to help with Hurricane Beryl relief efforts. Volunteers are needed to pack 10,000 disaster boxes per day!
Houston Food Bank is a resource for individuals and families in times of hardship and is called upon in times of disaster. Houston Food Bank is currently supporting Hurricane Beryl relief efforts across the Greater Houston area as well as supporting “regular” distributions to its partner agencies in 18 southeast Texas counties, therefore additional helping hands to sort and pack product are needed!
Individuals – including kids – as well as groups are welcome to volunteer, and registration can be done online for a shift(s): 8 am to noon and 1 to 4 pm, Monday to Saturday; 6 to 9 pm, Monday to Friday; and 9 am to noon Sundays. We also have three Sunday shifts afternoon 1pm to 4pm to help build disaster boxes and bag produce in response to the hurricane, on Sunday, July 21st, Sunday, July 28th and Sunday, August 4th

Activities include sorting and packing non-perishable foods and cleaning supplies; repacking dry food into family-sized bags; and packaging hot meals in our commercial kitchen.
Houston Food Bank would like to that those whom have already volunteered to help with hurricane recovery – Houstonians have given almost 8,100 volunteer hours as of July 15!
