Several food pantries across Harris County (in Houston, TX) need volunteers to pick up frozen food donations from nearby restaurants and grocery stores. This listing is specifically for locations in and around Cypress, Spring Branch, and Cullen Park. These donations are ready for pickup at varying points throughout the week, and might be a one-time need, monthly, or more frequently. Take Out Hunger acts as the information hub and the training/equipment center for these needs.
