Hunger Can’t Wait

Our city is facing a crisis—and we can’t afford to wait. Due to recent federal funding cuts, the Houston Food Bank is now receiving 40 fewer trucks of food per month. As the largest pantry partner of the Houston Food Bank, Bethel’s Heavenly Hands is feeling the impact in a drastic and immediate way.

Our Community is Facing a Crisis

Our ability to provide food assistance to Houston’s most vulnerable families is being severely threatened. What once allowed us to offer supplemental meals five days a week will now only stretch to three days a week. That means hundreds of families may go without food for two days—each and every week.

​

This is not just a supply chain issue. This is a crisis of dignity, health, and survival. Hunger can’t wait.

Food Insecurity Crisis: The Urgent Need

Federal cuts to food assistance programs are shrinking the safety net.

Thousands of people in the Bethel’s Heavenly Hands community will be directly affected.
