children who can learn and play; |
 |
|
adults who can work their hardest to support their
families; and |

remain healthy and vital. |

Since 1986, End Hunger Network has maintained red barrels for food donations in grocery stores throughout the Houston area. Today, there are barrels in over 200 stores throughout our community.
Each barrel has a sign indicating to which area hunger-relief agency it is assigned. On a regular basis, that agency collects the food from the barrel to distribute to the neighborhood's hungry.
Donating to the Red Barrel program is easy:
You can even purchase a preprepared “Help End Hunger” bag filled with nutritious, high-quality foods specifically selected to best meet the needs of Houston's hunger-relief agencies.
Or click on the virtual red barrel to donate on-line. Every $1 donated equals $20 of food for Houston's hungry.

Network's Food Rescue Program.
End Hunger Network's Food Rescue program connects perishable foods that would
otherwise go to waste with the thousands of hungry Houstonians who need them most.
Food Rescue trucks rescue viable, perishable food that would soon be thrown away by food-industry businesses and deliver it to hunger-relief agencies throughout the greater Houston area.
Each day, Food Rescue collects and delivers the most difficult foods for hunger-relief agencies to find: produce, meat, and dairy.
Food Rescue makes it possible for hunger-relief agencies to provide Houston's hungry with wholesome, nourishing meals.
 In partnership
with S.E.A.R.C.H, a local organization that works on behalf
of the homeless population in our community, End Hunger
Network captures healthy meat, vegetables and other healthy
products and prepares balanced meals for distribution
throughout the local hunger-relief system.
Meals prepared at the Mary Barden
Keegan Hunger Relief Center are distributed locally by the
Houston Food Bank.
