About this organization
Mission
The mission of Target Hunger is to alleviate hunger and its root causes in vulnerable northeast Houston neighborhoods. Our vision is to create a community where no one goes hungry, and individuals are able to provide food for themselves and their families.
About
Food Services: Target Hunger distributed 4.3 million pounds of food to more than 31,000 people in need in 2018, many of whom had been affected by Hurricane Harvey. Target Hungers food assistance programs and services are provided to individuals and families from more than 100 zip code areas. Fifty percent of the people served reside in a five zip code area, all of which have been designated by the USDA as a food desert and also identified as among Houstons 15 poorest zip codes.
