Most Needed Items
Support your Southeast Texas neighbors.
While we at the Houston Food Bank work to respond and assess the extent of the need, you can help by donating most needed items.
Your efforts make an enormous difference in the quantity and diversity of foods we are able to distribute to our partners and distribution sites who support our neighbors. By providing allergy-friendly options, you help ensure the Houston Food Bank can serve a wider population. Here is a list of items we request with a preference to products that are easy to open without tools to maximize accessibility for our neighbors.
