Houston Nonprofits and Charities

Recipe for Success is an amazing organization that gives back to the Houston community in a multitude of ways by providing food, nutrition, training and hope to children, people, veterans and many others. Their organization is efficient and thoughtful with their funds and if you can't support them financially there are many ways to give back with time and talent.

COCI has supported our organization, No More Victims, Inc., advocacy agency for newborns and children of incarcerated parents, Houston, TX for several years through funding, guidance and participation in our events. We are so honored to have their support. They are truly compassionate and committed to helping serve, protect and provide for children on a global scale. The administration, board of directors and volunteers are amazing individuals. COCI is a wonderful foundation with great leadership. One more thing that I would like to share is that COCI is also compassionate, caring and committed to the non-profits they support which is so very important as well. No More Victims is so proud to be a part of the COCI family. They deserve a billion star rating.

Clear Lake Food Pantry helps hundreds of people every day by providing food and distributing clorhing. Within the Clear Lake community there is a large under-served population of low income families and individuals, in addition to the neighboring communities. Their work truly has a huge impact and is appreciated by the community and its surrounding neighbors.

Far and away, the Houston Food Bank is my favorite charity. <br>They achieve so much, for so many, in terms of distributing food to other organizations that then put the food in the hands of those most in need. <br>The amount of food each $1 donate puts on the table is amazing, have a look at their website for yourself.

I am a day 1 donor and supporter. Organizations that are agents for change at the grass roots level such Teow inc need our support. Women of all races are often marginalized and fed unrealistic unachieveable ideas all in the name conforming and acceptance of social norms. When being just an authentic you should be good enough. Please donate and support!!

not what it used to be. can’t get anyone to answer the phone and they’re extremely dismissive in person when people are desperate. they’re one of 2 places that service my zip code and at least the other one has the decency to answer and tell someone when they don’t have funds.

This company is stealing money posing as a non-profit. They do not nor have they ever gone into underprivileged neighborhoods to feed children as they say. They formed the non-profit to gain access to the stadiums in Houston, TX and benefit from the donations Aramark gives to NPO’s. They advertise employment and “pay” their workers to run concessions Aramark through their for profit company Power of 2, LLC via cash app. They do not however pay the register tips the customer thinks goes to their server, but rather they keep thousands of dollars each event that Aramark pays out to them, yet claim they do not receive them. As an employee “contracted” to work concessions, when our pay was late and blamed on Aramark not paying them I went to Aramark and found out that both of these statements from the owner were lies. When the owner found out I went to Aramark she fired me and decided not to pay me at all for the work I’d already performed; and anyone who questioned her received the same treatment. It is my understanding now that they have left Houston for Arlington to try and pull the same scam for the Dallas Cowboys.

They are horrible at what they do. They misuse funds and do not care about children. Do not go here or waste your time with them. I cannot believe they are still allowed to operate. With the amount of money laundering and poor customer service that goes on... stay away.

I heard about Kids Meals Inc about 2 weeks ago through my run group. Kids Meals was looking for runners to run and raise money for Kids Meals through Run for a Reason and entering the Houston marathon and half marathon. As soon as I looked them up, I knew I HAD to go help. I have 3 sons, and although we have had lean times in our life, we have always had food in the fridge and pantry. The kitchen was full of volunteers on the day I went, so I was lucky enough to get to ride along with Blanca in a van hand delivering meals to children in need. First, Blanca is a saint! She knows so many of the stories of the families and children and greats everyone with a smile! Second, the heart break/joy of seeing the children run out of houses, so excited to see her and the van and know they have a good lunch coming is a hard dichotomy to get over. Sad that these children are without food; happy that Blanca and the other drivers are there to brighten their day and provide much needed nutrition. I am going back this week with my youngest son to help in the kitchen. I will help prepare lunches for the next day and he will put stickers on the bags to brighten the days of the recipients. No child should be hungry and I am so glad that Kids' Meals is doing something about it.

I am a Board member of Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston. Three, four years ago on the Meals on the Wheels program, IM served around two thounds home bound seniors every day. We had a long waiting list of hungry seniors, and our budget was in the deep red. Our CEO and Board members decided to do the unthinking able; we decided to open up the waiting list to served more seniors and took our messages to our community and organizations to secure and and solicite more funding. Long story short, today our Meals on the Wheels program serve almost 4,500 seniors in our Houston community every day. There is no longer a waiting list. We even serve breakfast, weekend meals and pet food for seniors who have pets and have special needs. We also expanded our interfaith relations program with the launching of the Amazing Faith Dinner dialogue program, Ready Houston and Congregation to Congregation program. Those programs provide people of different faith traditions a chance to communicate, learn and understand each other and to serve the community together. I can't find a nonprofit organization that is more worthy of your support. We not only serve the needy in our community we also try to build a community of trust, understanding and tolerance. We are working hand in hand with all congregations to make Houston a better place for people of all faith traditions and all ages.
