How to Support Houston Food Bank

Donate to Help Houston Food Bank Feed Families

Jeff here. As most of you know, I’m no longer on social media. Regardless, this is important to me, so we’ll see how it goes with minimal outside exposure. With SNAP benefits in jeopardy, people in our Houston community need us. People in dire need of nutritional assistance are going to be forced to do without. My immediate concern is mothers. There’s no doubt many mothers will be forced to skip meals to ensure their children don’t go without food. My goal is to raise $500, $100 of which I intend to donate myself. If just four people would donate $100, we could easily meet this goal, but every little bit helps. In the south, we know food is love. As the people in power continue to fail us, it’s more important than ever for us to show love to one another.

The Houston Food Bank is an organization dedicated to providing food for better lives in our community. Every single contribution can make a difference in the fight against hunger in southeast Texas. Your generous donations will help ensure that families have access to nutritious meals and resources to promote long-term stability.

With your support, the Houston Food Bank can:

Provide nutritious meals to those in need through partnerships with local food pantries and schools.
Advocate for policy changes that promote equitable access to food and address the root causes of hunger in our community.

Join me in making a positive change by donating today. Together, we can help fill plates and support healthier lives for everyone in our community!

Support Houston Food Bank's Vital Work

Hi, my name is Marisa. As someone who was raised on food stamps and other forms of assistance, I know just how crucial these programs are for people simply trying to survive, especially during the holidays.

SNAP and other benefits are what keep families fed, and when they’re delayed or stopped during a government shutdown, people suffer. And it’s not just those on assistance, thousands of federal workers are also going without pay right now, the very people who keep essential services running.

It’s heartbreaking that anyone should have to wonder how to feed their family, let alone during the holiday season, when so many are already stretched thin.

That’s why I’ve started this GoFundMe. 100% of the funds raised will be donated directly to the Houston Food Bank, which is actively helping families impacted by the SNAP delays and unpaid government employees.

Food banks can stretch every dollar further, turning just $1 into multiple meals, and make sure that food gets directly to the people who need it most. Your donation here will help keep shelves stocked and tables full for families across Houston and beyond during this critical time.

Every dollar helps. Whether it’s $5 or $50, it all adds up to full plates, full hearts, and a reminder that compassion still exists.

If you’re doing okay this month, please consider donating or sharing this link.

If you’re struggling, please know that people care, and that organizations like the Houston Food Bank are working tirelessly to make sure no one goes hungry this holiday season.

We may not control the system, but we can try to take care of each other.

50 Shades Of Gray Charity Gala

I’ve always had a passion for helping feed hunger and I’ve volunteered at the Houston Food Bank several times. This year for my 50th birthday instead of asking for my friends and family to celebrate ME, I’m asking for your donations instead. I want to raise $5,000 for the Houston Food Bank over a span of 50 days. I will host an event in September 30, 2023 along with a food drive where I will present the donation to the representative from Houston Food Bank.

I have been blessed over my 50 years of life to be able to never have had to felt the true pain of hunger. I want to help those in need. Will you join me and donate?

I have over 3,000 friends and followers so if half of you just donated $5-10 we could make a huge difference with this drive. Don’t worry, myself or nobody else will receive this money as your donation will be sent directly to the Houston Food Bank.

Also over the course of this 50 days I will be eating clean as I diet with an all veggie and water cleanse! Pray for me on that.

Thanks for your support in advance.

The Houston Food Bank’s mission is to provide food for better lives. In addition to distributing food, we provide services and connections to programs that address the root causes of hunger and are aimed at helping families achieve long-term stability.

Help me Support Houston Food Bank

Friends - as most of you are aware, Jasmine and I have been prominent at the Houston Food Bank as volunteers - however with Covid 19 we haven’t been on location to help and their demand for food has increased considerably with reduction of 55% in volunteers. One day in March 1,076,243 pounds of food was distributed from the Houston Food Bank's warehouse to its partners in response to increased need by the pandemic - that is 239% increase of a typical day's distribution.

So Jasmine and I have made a personal goal to raise funds to support during this crisis. Jasmine is donating $1 for every person who donated from her savings account ( she thinks she is going to get 500 donations lol and she will be depleting her savings account) and I will match the donation received here with my company match if needed!

Thank you for your support and even a $5 donation will provide 3 meals for a much needed family.

Jasmine and Akilla

Ultra Marathon Pain for Foodbank Gain!

WE ARE AT THE $5,000 GOAL. THE FUNDRAISER WILL REMAIN OPEN BUT DONATIONS WILL NOT BE TRIPLE MATCHED PAST THIS POINT. Phew! I didn't think that Goal would actually happen, but what a wonderful thing you have all done!

Want to triple your donation to the Houston Food Bank?

Your $1 will equal $3!
Your $10 will equal $30!
Your $5,000 will equal $15,000!
Say what?

Whatever you donate my wife (Angela - below) will match (up to $5,000), whatever Angela donates, her company will match (up to $5,000). It’s a win-win-win!

All I’m going to do is try and run a 55k/34.2mile Ultra Marathon for the first time. It scares the life out of me to be honest but I will either finish it (yeah!) or experience the sweet kiss of death, so it’s a win either way. Oh, and it’s on my 55th birthday, so 5-6hrs of running around Memorial Park should get it in the top ten of my list of bad ideas.

Will you join me in making a difference? If you can’t donate that’s OK, but please blast it around your social media, and send it to your celebrity friends, to make sure we spend all of Angela’s money! Re Tweet/Gram/FaceBook/LinkedIn/Spam everyone

Why am I raising money for Houston Food Bank? Well, food insecurity is a huge challenge today and there is nothing as human or as direct as providing a meal to someone. Let’s be as human as we can be!

Whether your passionate about supporting those impacted by the pandemic, unemployment, mental health issues, addiction, or discrimination based on religion, sexuality, gender, disability, or race, the Houston Food Bank serves them all for you gladly.

You name it and any donation will help make an impact. Thank you in advance for your contribution.
