Tropical Storm Imelda Relief
The Houston Food Bank has a history of providing disaster relief.
Each hurricane season, the Houston Food Bank accumulates more than 40 tractor trailer loads of disaster product to be prepared to immediately respond to the needs of the community. In addition, the Food Bank works alongside community partners to continuously assess the needs of those in affected areas.
