Humble Holding Community Food Drive

Humble, TX -- With 20 percent of residents below the poverty line and more than one-third of Humble ISD students on free or reduced lunch, the Humble area is keenly aware of the problem of food insecurity.

For children that rely on the free or reduced lunch program, summers can be a difficult time with many going hungry.

To help address the problem, The Northeast Houston Interfaith Council, along with several Humble-area churches and businesses, is holding a summer food drive benefiting the Humble Area Assistance Ministries food bank.

The food bank is seeking donations of non-perishable and canned goods -- such as dry milk, soup, rice, beans and peanut butter. And while donations are accepted year, various local businesses will be accepting donations from July 1 to July 17.
