Target Hunger

	Our Vision Create a community where nobody goes hungry, and individuals are able to provide food for themselves and their families. HISTORY Target Hunger, a United Way agency, was founded in 1989 as a grassroots, community-based program to fight the increasing hunger problem within Houston’s inner city neighborhoods. Community leaders such as the late congressman Mickey Leland and Pete Van Horn, along with others from the United Way, helped to form the Select Committee on Hunger to examine the issue of hunger in Houston. They found an area of town where the needs of the hungry were not being met, and Target Hunger was formed. TODAY Target Hunger is one of Houston's largest organizations that distributes food to families. Target Hunger assists individuals in inner-city neighborhoods who are food insecure. More than 3.6 million pounds of food are distributed each year. More than 9,800 individuals are served each month. Target Hunger manages 12 food pantries, 11 senior day sites, and 11 home delivery routes. Target Hunger has 16 community gardens that produce an average of 1,000 servings of vegetables per month in peak growing months. We provide a holistic approach to hunger relief. Our agency focuses on rebuilding and strengthening family units by empowering our clients to become self-sufficient through our programs. Target Hunger currently offers the following programs: Nutrition Classes Education / Literacy Programs GED / ESL Classes Self-Esteem Classes Youth Development Imagine Houston … A City Without Hunger
