Food Programs

FOOD FAIR

Every third Saturday of the month, Ford Bend Care Center partners with the Houston Food Bank to distribute fruits and vegetables to families in need.

We mainly provide fresh fruits and vegetables, along with some grocery items to offer nutrition beyond canned and dry food items.

Examples of produce we typically distribute may include: watermelon, bananas, pineapples, tangerines, honeydew, carrots, onions, yams, potatoes, cabbage, bell peppers, or lettuce.

How It Works

On the food fair morning, people will first check in and register. Volunteers divide the food into portions and help load it into people's cars.

Volunteers

Food Fair needs about 40 volunteers each time to help facilitate the day and sort food. Volunteers are asked to be there from 9am-12noon. Small groups or fellowships are especially encouraged to sign up.

FOOD MARKET

On Wednesdays, the Houston Food Bank brings a mobile food truck and our team distributes food to families.

We mainly provide fresh fruits and vegetables, along with some grocery items to offer nutrition beyond canned and dry food items.

How It Works

Individuals and families must make an appointment ahead of time, as we have limited space. At the schedule time, they can come and select the groceries they would like.

Register to Receive Food

Please call 832-539-4846 to make an appointment to receive food. The Food Market is open on the first, second, and fourth Wednesdays from 9:00am - 11:00am.
