Give Time By Volunteering

Your time is a gift to kids, seniors and others who may be experiencing food insecurity. Volunteers produce the equivalent of a meal a minute while helping the Houston Food Bank sort, process and pack food. And it’s fun!

The Impact of Our Volunteers

Houston Food Bank is simply not able to do what we do without the generosity of those who give their time. With your help, we’re providing food for better lives.
