The Houston Food Bank also administers the following programs for area residents:

  • Kids Cafe:
    With the help of volunteer chefs, at-risk kids enjoy healthy meals and snacks, learn about good nutrition & how to prepare healthy meals for their families, in a fun and safe after-school environment every weekday at Kids Cafe sites.

  • Operation Frontline:
    The Houston Food Bank's registered dietitians and certified culinarians are joined by Houston-area chefs to bring nutrition education and meal preparation skills directly to those in need. Six-week courses are offered through the year at participating charities to teach low-income families how to eat healthy while stretching their limited food budgets.

  • Culinary Academy:
    The Culinary Academy prepares low-income, underemployed adults for careers in the foodservice industry through a free, 12-week training program.

  • Food Fair:
    Food fairs allow families to select from an abundance of fresh produce in a farmers market setting – a large, open atmosphere at hunger-relief partners’ sites.
