Come join us the First Tuesday of each month at the Houston Food Bank, where we will be working on various projects, such as assembling community food boxes and back pack buddy bags. Anyone that wants to join us is welcome. So please grab any Longhorns and any other school’s alumni, friends, family or coworkers that are aimlessly wondering what to do on a Tuesday night.
Don’t forget that this can be used toward volunteering community service hours for those in high school, college and other community organizations. By registering in the Food Bank’s system, the hours can be tracked throughout the year and downloaded at any time or pickup the a certificate at the end of each shift before you leave.

Since it is a warehouse environment, everyone must wear closed-toe shoes (no sling-backs), long shorts (to the knee) or pants, and no low cut tops (OSHA regulations).
