Why Volunteer with Target Hunger?

By contributing your time—whether in-person or virtually—you directly support hungry families, children, and seniors across Houston. Your efforts help sort and distribute essential meals, grow and deliver produce, run engaging community events, and maintain the infrastructure that keeps Target Hunger running. If you’re part of a school, company, or faith community, group volunteering also strengthens team spirit and community bonds.
