Houston Food Bank

Second Annual Food From The Bar Competition Begins


Houston's legal community come together to fight hunger.

Houston Food Bank's Second Annual Food from the Bar campaign will be kicking off April 1, 2017 with the volunteer Kick-Off event being held Friday, March 31. Food from the Bar is a month-long competition among Houston’s legal community where participants earn points by donating food, funds and volunteer time to benefit the Houston Food Bank. The event is timed to raise much-needed resources just before the summer break when kids will be out of school and not receiving school breakfast and lunches. Many local families struggle to provide that extra food during the summer and you are helping bridge that gap.

The inaugural FFTB campaign had 24 participating legal organizations which raised $96,061, collected 5,066 pounds of food and donated 1,366 volunteer hours (418 volunteer shifts), which generated the equivalent of 374,378 meals for our community.

Our 2nd annual FFTB campaign is off to a great start with 37 teams signed up so far. Stay tuned to see who will be the winner of this year’s competition, in the meantime, check out the teams that have signed on to help us fight hunger in the Houston area.
