Neighbors receive food scholarships when they commit to programs that can improve their lives. By lowering the financial stress of household grocery costs, individuals are in a better position to get the training, education or knowledge they need to achieve independence.

• Food scholarship recipients receive groceries twice each month, through designated Food for Change Markets, strategically located near neighbors throughout the greater Houston area.
• A typical food distribution includes up to 60 pounds of healthy food, per neighbor, half of it produce.
• Neighbors select the food they want to take home in a grocery store or farmers markets style set up. Due to the pandemic, distribution styles have been modified to maintain safety of clients and Market staff.
• As with traditional scholarships, recipients of food scholarships must maintain eligibility, in this case, by continuing their participation in programs.
