Sowing a Stronger Future: Fall 2028
CORE is more than an upcoming new facility. It is a launchpad for opportunity. From decades of work supporting food security, we know the root causes stem from other factors. By integrating food assistance with health, education, employment, and workforce resources, CORE transforms a traditional distribution model into a comprehensive community ecosystem, empowering individuals and families to move toward long-term stability and success.
CORE’s Impact
Expand Houston Food Bank’s annual distribution capacity from 125 million meals to 250 million meals by 2035.
Increase the share of fresh produce distributed from 45% to 70%, improving access to nutritious food.
Create a centralized hub where neighbors can access food, healthcare, education, and support services in one location.
Provide on-site child care, removing barriers that often prevent families from accessing critical services.
Reduce the time and transportation burdens associated with seeking assistance by offering multiple services under one roof.
Strengthen Houston Food Bank’s ability to respond quickly and effectively during disasters, emergencies, and periods of increased community need.
