Saturday food distribution canceled for May 16; new food distribution sites identified for week of May 18

Due to the threat of inclement weather, the Houston Independent School District and Houston Food Bank are rescheduling the mass community food distribution planned for Saturday, May 16 at NRG to ensure the safety of families, staff, and volunteers.

The rescheduled mass community food distribution will be held on Monday, May 18, from 2 – 7 p.m. in the NRG Yellow Lot. It will be operated by the Houston Food Bank.

Families also can continue to visit HISD’s regular, weekday food distribution sites next week. Each site can distribute up to 500 bags — or 15,000 pounds of food — per day.

As families arrive, Nutrition Services staff will minimize contact by filling out the required Emergency Food Assistance Program forms for families and placing food in their vehicle trunks. Participants who walk to the sites also must adhere to social distancing requirements.
