Volunteered at Houston Food Bank. The experience was both fun and enlightening. I had no idea of the amount of food that goes to feed the hungry. I now have more appreciation for this business and will continue to volunteer. They are doing a wonderful and meaningful job.

Great place to volunteer. I didn’t realize how much work goes into feeding those in need of a little hand up.
