The Houston Food Bank is grateful to all of our volunteers for their overwhelming response to our need for help with disaster relief efforts.
In order to make the most efficient and effective use of all of our efforts, we ask that all volunteers register in advance online.
All available volunteer shifts are listed on our online registration calendar. If you do not see a shift listed, it means we are at capacity and cannot accommodate additional volunteers for safety reasons.
Please know that the Houston Food Bank will be in disaster relief mode for months to come and will need long-term volunteer assistance as our donation flow increases.
Be sure to check back frequently and register in advance!
If you would like to be notified when we have a need for volunteers, just text DisasterVol to 51555 and we will let you know.
To donate, volunteers can text HarveyVol to 41444. You can also check the progress of our $10,000 volunteer donation goal!
