Target Hunger

Since 1989, Target Hunger's mission has been 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. Creating a community where nobody goes hungry, and individuals are able to provide food for themselves and their families

After a scorching summer, our Target Hunger gardens have been thriving in the cooler weather, especially with vibrant yellow squash! 🌞🌿🌼

The resilient nature of these crops after such a challenging season is a true testament to the dedication and hard work of our garden team. They've weathered the heat and brought forth an abundance of nutritious, fresh produce for our community.

Yellow squash, with its vibrant color and delicious taste, serves as a symbol of perseverance and growth even in tough times. It's a reminder that despite challenges, we can still yield positivity and sustenance.

We're excited to share these fruits of labor with our community, offering fresh, homegrown goodness to those in need. It's not just about the squash, but the resilience and hope they represent. Here's to thriving despite the heat and sowing the seeds of a brighter, healthier future for all! πŸŒ»πŸ’š
