Walk to fight hunger in the Target Hunger

Will Walk 4 Food 5k charity walk

Join us for our 3rd annual Target Hunger “Will Walk 4 Food” event on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at the Denver Harbor Multi Service Center.  By walking in the Target Hunger WW4F, you demonstrate your commitment to the unified efforts to bring awareness and support to Houston’s inner city residents experiencing hunger.  The value of a mission is only as strong as those willing to stand in unison for the cause. Please stand with us against hunger. You are needed; you are valued! 

 

Calling all Walkers and Walk Teams!

This is a fundraising walk; gather your friends, colleagues and families to join in the fun and support Target Hunger. We need your help to IMPACT HUNGER; please form your team today! This event is FREE to all participants, but we need you to raise funds for Target Hunger with your Walk Team. Each WW4F Team Captain who raises $250 or more from her/his walkers and virtual walkers will receive an official Target Hunger WW4F t-shirt.

About Us

Target Hunger is one of Houston's largest organizations providing direct food distribution to food insecure seniors, children and families who face the risk of going hungry every day. We distribute nearly 4 million pounds of food - equivalent to 3.2 million meals - to more than 9,000 people each month.

Through our system of food pantries, a central food hub, community and educational gardens, senior home delivery routes, senior day sites routes, a free breakfast program, and countless community food fairs, we are on the front lines of hunger every day.

The mission of Target Hunger is to alleviate hunger and its root causes in the Houston neighborhoods we serve.  Our vision is a Houston where no one goes hungry and everyone can provide food for themselves and their families.

Target Hunger, a United Way agency, was founded in 1989 as a grassroots, community based program to fight the increasing hunger problem in Houston's inner city neighborhoods.  The United Way, along with community leaders including the late Congressman Mickey Leland and Houston businessman Pete Van Horn, joined together to form the Select Committee on Hunger to examine the issue of hunger in Houston.  They focused their attention on the area of town where the needs of the hungry where not being met, and Target Hunger was formed.  Our service area was initially limited to the Fifth Ward, and now has expanded to include the neighborhoods of Kashmere Gardens, North Forrest and Denver Harbor.
