The mission of Target Hunger is to alleviate hunger and its root causes in the Houston neighborhoods we serve. Our vision is a Houston where no one goes hungry, and everyone can provide food for themselves and their families.
Target Hunger is on the front lines of hunger every day through its food distribution system that includes multiple food pantries, educational food fairs, an extensive home delivery program, summer break food programs for children, mobile distribution sites, a growing community partner program, emergency food assistance, and two gardens.
Additionally, we address the plight of families trapped in long-term food insecurity and intergenerational poverty. Our Navigation Services team provides social service assistance in English and Spanish. The team helps connect people to services including rental or utility assistance, access to healthcare and health insurance enrollment, or referrals to a wide network of groups that specialize in helping individuals overcome barriers to improving their life prospects.
Target Hunger is one of Houston’s largest non-profit organizations providing direct food assistance to food insecure children, families, and seniors who face the risk of going hungry every day. In 2022, Target Hunger distributed food to over 17,000 unduplicated individuals representing nearly 7,000 unique households.
