In fall 2008, the Houston Food Bank merged with End Hunger Network, a Houston-area food rescue organization, thus making more effective use of community resources by working together as one.

In fiscal year 2011-2012, HFB distributed 50 million nutritious meals food and other necessities.

The vision for the future is to expand service to the community to 100,000,000 nutritious meals by 2018.

By the Numbers

• 137,000 different people fed each week.
  • Half of are children
  • Half are from working families
  • Only 6% are homeless
• A one-dollar donation provides a full day of meals of an individual.
