Houston, We Have a Hunger Problem (But Not for Long!)
Let's face it, Houston, sometimes life throws a curveball that lands right in your fridge...and promptly empties it. Maybe the rent monster showed up a little early this month, or your grocery savings plan accidentally involved buying that life-sized inflatable dinosaur sprinkler (hey, no judgement!). Whatever the reason, your stomach's starting to sound like a sad trombone solo, and that's no way to live in a city this vibrant.
Fear not, fellow Houstonian! Because just like Beyoncé has a song for every situation, the Houston Food Bank has a program to tackle almost any empty-pantry situation.
Don't Be Shy, Call the Fry Line! (It's Not What You Think)
Hold on to your hats (or, more importantly, your empty stomachs!), because the Houston Food Bank has a magic hotline (well, not magic, but pretty darn helpful) that can connect you with a nearby pantry or food distribution site. It's like a GPS for goodness, but instead of leading you to the nearest gas station at 2 am, it leads you to free groceries! Dial 832-369-9390 and consider it your delicious distress call.
Text for Eats? You Bet!
We all know Houston's traffic can be a beast, so if calling isn't your jam, fret not! You can actually text FOOD to 855-308-2282. Yes, you read that right. Texting for tacos? Not quite, but texting for sustenance? Absolutely! This handy dandy service will send you info on the closest pantry like a culinary ninja delivering info straight to your phone.
