  • Annual Report 2010-2011
    Annual Report 2010-2011 1 dalia Lopez often wonders if she’ll be able to keep food on the table for her I family. Idalia’s husband works in construction. When work is slow, their income trickles in. She’s one of nearly a million people in southeast Texas who are food insecure. They have groceries now, but they have legitimate fears that they won’t be able to afford it on a consistent basis. The Houston Food Bank (HFB) exists to help people like the Lopez family. We worked through a network of 500 hunger relief charities to distribute more than 70 million pounds of food from July 2010 through June 2011. This mighty effort was accomplished for the most part from a cramped warehouse facility that was often literally packed beyond capacity with pallets of food, bustling volunteers and determined staff. In order to provide food to more individuals in need, the Houston Food Bank needed a new facility Much of the focus during FY10–11 was on the renovation of a new home that would bring needed space and light to southeast Texas’s leader in the fight against hunger. Thanks to generous community support, we were able to purchase the former Sysco Distribution Center on Houston’s east side. By the end of the fiscal year, construction was wrapping up and the move to 535 Portwall was only days away. In addition to our ongoing activities, FY10–11 was a year of preparation for the gigantic task of moving many truckloads of food, equipment and staff offices.
