Free Food Distribution in partnership with Houston Food Bank

Next Food Distribution:
Wednesday, November 12
10:30 am – 11:30 am  

India House 8888 West Bellfort Ave
Houston, TX 77031
(until supplies last)

We are thankful to the Houston Food Bank for providing healthy food twice a month which enables us to feed over 500 needy families monthly. We distribute fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, and packaged foods ensuring all families get healthy and balanced meals. We provide food regardless of citizenship, race, social or economic status, national origin, or religion. We believe that no one in our community should go hungry. This is a great program that gives back to the Houston community. Our volunteers take pride in coming to India House to help with the distribution. Avail this food distribution for free or come and be a part of our team of volunteers.
