Annual Report 2011-2012

1 Home at last In August 2011, the Houston Food Bank (HFB) officially took up residence in our new facility at 535 Portwall Street on Houston’s east side. We shook off the cramped confines of our old home and reveled in having four times more space in which we can live our mission: Leading the fight against hunger.

So much more than a warehouse From our newly-renovated building, the Food Bank will be able to get much more food and other needed items to our network of hunger relief partner agencies. In fiscal year 2011-2012, HFB distributed the equivalent of fifty million nutritious meals. Our new warehouse gives us the infrastructure we need to meet our number one strategic goal: distribute 100 million nutritious meals in 2018.

But 535 Portwall is more than a warehouse. It’s an engine for hope and a beacon to the community. Housed within its walls are programs that help individuals and families cope with the daily struggles they face as a result of poverty and hard times. In our new home, they can apply for social services; people in need of a second chance get job training; working families get groceries from our Emergency Food Pantry; and community friends find welcoming space for meetings and conferences.

Food insecurity: Will there Accolades be enough nutritious food every day? • Houston’s Better Business Bureau honored HFB with the Pinnacle Award in the Nonprofit Category for superior commitment to ethics, overall excellence and quality in the workplace.

• Charity Navigator, the web-based charity evaluator, included HFB on its nationwide list of Top Notch Charities.

• HFB is on Forbes Magazine’s list of 200 largest U.S. charities, based on private gifts, total revenue, fundraising efficiency and charitable commitment.

• The Houston Business Journal listed HFB as number one on its list of Houston Area Charitable Nonprofit Organizations based on total income.

• Admiring glances for 535 Portwall: Rey de la Reza Architects, designers of our new facility, received recognition from the Houston Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in the renovation category.
