Houston Food Bank Volunteering

As the holidays approach, many members of our Houston community will not have the means to provide holiday meals for themselves or their family. Please join us for an opportunity to give back to our community by volunteering at the Houston Food Bank.

We will meet at the Houston Food Bank on Sunday, November 23rd at 8:30am. Our volunteer shift will be from 9am-12pm. The Food Bank is located at 535 Portwall St, Houston, TX 77029.

If you plan to join us, it is very important that you read the text below and use the link to register on the Houston Food Bank website:

"To REGISTER YOURSELF as an individual volunteer under a group: 

Simply click on this link:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://houstonfoodbank.civicore.com/index.php?section=indGpRegistrations&action=conditional&fwID=110278__;!!F8lEXw!4Dn5lQ8vD8xGMiwHQwA2vYQRVQ80H762rUwD3kLnib2vPi0YDXonoIkfZ_X8QDYVAD_tea0tfPz7FpdM1jdiaypXfF9y3PI$

and then follow the prompts to complete the volunteer profile.  Once your profile is complete, then click “REGISTER” to register yourself for the shift that automatically populates. 

NOTE:  If you have a volunteer profile in our system, then you will enter your ID and password to access the group registration area; and then click “REGISTER” to register yourself for the shift that automatically populates.  

Arrive on-time or early for shift: It is vital that volunteers arrive on time (or up to 15 minutes early) for the scheduled shift to ensure HFB’s operations run smoothly and our volunteers remain safe.  Please be aware that if a volunteer arrives late for the shift, then HFB staff may ask you to reschedule for another day/shift; or you may not be able to join your group.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Importance of Online Volunteer Registration:

Registering online saves the Houston Food Bank the time, printing materials and money required to print/manage/reconcile accurate volunteer numbers from the thousands of paper waiver pages that we currently accumulate each month.  Spending 5 minutes registering means more meals are available for our community. 

Refreshments for Individual Purchase:  HFB continues to offer free water, tea, and coffee in our lobby; food and drinks for purchase in the Texans Café and Starbucks Coffee Bar; and there are vending machines (located down a hallway near the main project area entrance) with various snacks for purchase (proceeds from vending machines support our onsite H.E.A.R.T students’ education).
