Come volunteer as an individual or a team at a Target Hunger Food Fair!

Food Fairs are pop-up food distributions completely open to the public. These fairs prioritize fresh produce, serving an average of 150 to 220 households at each event. Volunteers play a vital role in the success of these events by setting up tents, repackaging bulk produce, and distributing the goods directly to clients. These events are particularly rewarding because volunteers can see the immediate impact of their efforts, making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.

These events occur from 8 am - 11 am at different sites throughout the Northeast Houston area:

Northeast Multi-Service Center (9720 Spaulding St., Houston 77016) Every 2nd and 4th Thursday Valero Lot (9602 Manchester, Houston 77012) Every 3rd Thursday Orange Show Lot (5328 Gulf Fwy, Houston 77023) Every 1st and 3rd Friday Fifth Ward Multi-Service Center (4014 Market St., Houston 77020) Every 2nd and 4th Friday


Group reservations are available for these distributions. If you are interested in a group reservation email: volunteer@targethunger.org
